How to distinguish between Beef and Pork
Good Evening my friends
Tonight, I would like to tell the useful information for you all with the title of "How to distinguish Beef and pork"
Here are the explanation
Lately our society is often rumored to be a victim of fraudulent beef that turned out after being examined is not beef but pork. This raises concern for us as one of the beef suppliers.
There are some differences that we can make a guideline so as not to become a victim of fraud or one of buying meat. Here's how to differentiate between beef and pork:
5 Easy Ways To Distinguish Beef and Pork
What are the five differences? The answer is in terms of color, meat fiber, fat type, aroma and texture.
1. In term of color
Pork has a more pale color when compared with beef. The color of pork is approaching the color of chicken meat. But this difference can not be used, because the color of oplosan pork is usually camouflaged with cow blood.
In addition, there are certain parts of pork that color very similar to beef so it is very difficult to tell the difference.
2. In term of fiber
We can also distinguish beef and pork based on the fiber. As shown in the figure, the beef has fibers that look solid and the fiber lines are clearly visible.
This is different from pork that the nature of the fiber looks faint and very tenuous. This difference becomes clearer when the two meats are stretched together.
3. In term of fat
The difference in fat is present at its elasticity level. Pork has a more elastic fat texture while cow fat is more rigid and shaped.
In addition, the fat in pork is very wet and difficult to remove from the meat while fat meat slightly dry and looks fibrous. But we must be careful because in certain parts such as kidneys, the appearance of pork fat is almost similar to cow fat.
4. In term of texture
In terms of texture, beef has a texture that is more rigid and solid than the pork that is mushy and easy to stretch. Through this difference actually when we hold it too already felt the real difference between the two.
The texture of pork is very chewy. While the beef feels solid and hard so it is quite difficult to stretch.
5. In term of smell
Pork has its own distinctive aroma, while the aroma of beef is rancid as we have seen. This smell is the most powerful weapon to distinguish between beef and pork.
In contrast to the colors that can be camouflaged and mixed, the smell of these two fleshs can still be distinguished. Unfortunately the ability to distinguish through this aroma requires repetitive exercise because the difference is not too significant.
That's tips and how to distinguish beef and pork that you can use to make no mistake when buying meat. This is very important for you who are Muslim in order to maintain the quality of your food in order to avoid things that are forbidden by religion.
