Meat quality of broiler breast fillets with white striping and woody breast muscle myopathies

Poultry Science, 2016
The global poultry industry has been faced with emerging broiler breast meat quality issues including conditions known as white striping (WS, white striations parallel to muscle fibers) and woody breast (WB, hardness of raw fillet). Experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of WS and WB hardness on meat quality traits in broiler breast fillets. In

Studying the Effects of Collagenase (Type 1) on the Collagen in Woody Breast Meat. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2020
Abnormal collagen infiltration in the Pectoralis major, breast muscle, of fast-growing big broilers has led to woody breast (WB) myopathy resulting in meat quality issues. Mechanisms to degrade the collagen were investigated to potentially improve WB texture.

Descriptive texture analyses of cooked patties made of chicken breast with the woody breast condition

Poultry Science, 2017
The woody breast (WB) condition negatively influences the texture characteristics and quality of intact broiler breast fillets (Pectoralis major). But the impact of WB on ground meat is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of WB on the texture and cook loss of ground meat made of broiler breast fillets.
