520 |a Biomechanical studies were performed to characterize  
520 |a mechanical behavior of sixteen raw post rigor bovine  
520 |a Longissimus dorsi muscles. Linear viscoelastic properties  
520 |a were measured in terms of relaxation moduli Eijkl using a  
520 |a standard stress-relaxation technique at 3% strain. A  
520 |a macromechanical approach was taken to solve a boundary value  
520 |a problem that partially mimicked a simplified model of a first  
520 |a chew cycle of the human masticatory process. Mechanical  
520 |a parameters such as stiffness and total energy dissipated were  
520 |a calculated and correlated to tenderness traits, as evaluated  
520 |a by a descriptive attribute sensory panel. Stiffness and  
520 |a total energy dissipated were highly correlated to overall  
520 |a tenderness (R' = 0.74 and R' = 0.83). A model to predict  
520 |a tenderness using total energy dissipated was successfully  
520 |a developed and tested over a set of fifty Longissimus dorsi  
520 |a muscles. Predicted values were highly correlated to sensory  
520 |a evaluation outputs (R' = 0.94). The methodology developed  
520 |a could be used in routine laboratory analysis to objectively  
520 |a assess meat texture and determine linear viscoelastic  
520 |a properties of meat foods.
