Abstract: Some embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a method of preparing meat. The method comprises the steps of: separating a meat segment from a carcass when the carcass has a temperature within five degrees Celsius (5° C.) of live body temperature; reducing the size of the meat segment into a plurality of meat segments; crust-freezing the meat segments; and combining the crust-frozen meat segments with water, ice, and salt, at a temperature within five degrees Celsius (5° C.) of freezing to form a batter.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compounds for the improvement of turkey meat and turkey populations, but not limited to, a genetic screen to select for turkeys that produce a better quality of meat characterized by a higher postmortem pH and better water holding capacity.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting microbial growth and of inhibiting oxidation of a target organic compound or food, medicine, or cosmetic is disclosed. The method comprises contacting the target organic compound or food with an effective amount of a phenolic compound comprising a single 6-carbon ring and from four to six hydroxyl groups, wherein an effective amount of the phenolic compound is an amount sufficient to inhibit oxidation of the target organic compound or food by at least 50% and sufficient to inhibit microbial growth in the presence of the target organic compound or food by at least 50%. The phenolic compound comprising a single 6-carbon ring and from four to six hydroxyl groups is preferably 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybenzene.
