What is a meat?
- Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food. Humans have hunted, farmed, and scavenged
other animals for meat since prehistoric times. The establishment of settlements in the
Neolithic Revolution allowed the domestication of animals such as chickens, sheep,
rabbits, pigs, and cattle.
Composition of meat
- Meat and poultry is composed of muscle, connective tissue, fat and bone. The muscle is
approximately 75% water (although different cuts may have more or less water) and 20%
protein with the remaining 5% representing a combination of fat, carbohydrate and
minerals.
Structure of meat
- The structure of meat is mostly composed of an animal’s muscle tissue, which is made up
of three major components: muscle cells, connective tissue, and fat.
The meat we consume today is mostly made up of animal muscles that have gone through
a conversion process that begins once an animal is killed, which ultimately causes its
muscle to remain in a constant rigid position named rigor mortis.
- The structure of meat muscle is made out of fibers that are bundled together with
connective tissue.
