This protocol is for longissimus. We also have developed slice shear force protocols and their descriptions for 20 other muscles. If you are interested in these, contact us.

This option will give slice shear force results that are just as repeatable as the lower throughput option, but this higher throughput option requires higher capital investment and is less labor intensive. We have processed over 400 samples in a day with four people assisting using this protocol.

We recommend you send someone to our lab to be trained in person. However, if that is not possible the following description of the protocol is fairly detailed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call us.

Cooking Method A: Belt Grill Cookery
Steak thickness must be uniform for belt grill cooking. The simplest method is to cut one-inch thick steaks from frozen muscle sections using a band saw.
Internal temperature of the steaks should be 2 to 5°C prior to cooking. Thaw frozen steaks at 2 to 5°C for approximately 24 to 36 hours to reach the correct internal temperature.
Steaks should be cooked to a final internal temperature of 71°C. The belt grill should be operated as follows: preheat = 149°C, top heat = 163°C, bottom heat = 163°C, height of gap = 2.16 cm, and cook time = 5.5 min. (Test these settings on your grill to ensure 71°C end point is reached on average).
![Page 10: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Steak exiting belt grill
![Page 11: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Internal temperature of the steaks should be 2 to 5°C prior to cooking. Thaw frozen steaks at 2 to 5°C for approximately 24 to 36 hours to reach the correct internal temperature.
Steaks should be cooked to a final internal temperature of 71°C.
Temperature set at 204°C and belt speed to get 14 min 30 sec cooking time. (Test these settings on your oven to ensure 71°C end point is reached on average).
Cooking Method B: Impingement Oven Cookery
![Page 12: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Impingement Oven
![Page 13: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Immediately after exiting from the grill or oven, monitor the internal steak temperature using a hand held thermometer with a needle thermocouple probe inserted into the geometric center of the steak. Record the maximum temperature the steak reaches during post-cooking rise as the final cooked temperature. Remove the thermocouple probe and proceed with slice shear force procedure.

SSF Protocol
After recording final cooked temperature of the steak, remove from the lateral end of each steak a 1-cm-thick, 5-cm-long slice that is parallel to the muscle fibers.

SSF Protocol
1. A cut is made across the width of the longissimus at a point about 1 to 2 cm from the lateral end of the muscle.
![Page 17: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step 1. Square off the end of the muscle
![Page 18: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SSF Protocol
2. Using the sample sizing box, a second cut is made across the width of the longissimus, parallel to and at a distance of 5 cm from the first cut.
![Page 19: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step 2. Obtain the 5-cm long section
![Page 20: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We now have a 5-cm long section from the lateral end of the longissimus with muscle fibers at a 45° angle.

5-cm section with 45° fiber angle

SSF Protocol
3. The 5-cm long section is placed in the slice box and centered on the two 45°slots with the angle of the slots lined up with the muscle fiber angle.
![Page 24: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Step 3: Muscle fiber orientation in slice box
Muscle fiber orientation matching the double slots.

SSF Protocol
4. Close the lid of the box. Insert the double-bladed knife that consists of two parallel blades spaced 1 cm apart into the slots at the back and make two parallel cuts simultaneously through the length of the 5-cm long section. This cut is made with 4 to 5 up-and-down sawing motion strokes while pulling the knife forward (the knife blades must be kept sharp to get a good “clean” cut – failure to do so will result in slices less than the full thickness and underestimate SSF). This cut provides a 1-cm thick, 5-cm long slice that is parallel to the muscle fibers.

1 cm-thick, 5 cm-long slice parallel to fibers
![Page 29: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 30: Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost€¦ · Slice Shear Force Protocol for Large Volume at Higher Cost Steven D. Shackelford, Tommy L. Wheeler, and Mohammad](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042122/5e9c8017fa1e325a843b30ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The slice is placed in the testing machine so that the blade shears perpendicular to the muscle fibers along the 5-cm dimension of the slice. When positioning the slice, it must be exactly centered so the blade shears in the center and avoids the cooked crust on
both the top and bottom sides of the slice.

The slice blade should be 1.016 mm (0.04 inches) thick with the cutting edge beveled to a half-round. The spacers creating the gap for the cutting blade to slide through should be 2.0828 mm (0.082 inches) thick. The crosshead speed should be 500 mm/min for Universal Testing Machines (e.g., Instron, United, Texture Technologies, etc.).

Shear the slice. The data should be captured by the instrument software on the computer running the instrument. We record the values as a backup for computer failure. The slot the blade passes through should be cleaned periodically with a paper clip. Rinse the slots the blade passes through with water periodically. The blade should be cycled through periodically with no slice to ensure the blade is free and not dragging.
