Deeplant, the operator of Delish Meat, announced on the 23rd that it has signed a research contract with the Meat Science Laboratory of the Department of Animal Science at Gyeongsang National University on the 'Changes in Meat According to Aging Period.'

This research contract involves an analytical study of the changes in aged meat during its aging and distribution periods. The analysis will be conducted using various research techniques within the environment of Deeplant's in-house developed Deep-Aging System (which controls water pressure, ultrasound, and temperature). The analysis will be performed at each aging stage for beef and pork, precisely examining the changes in the aged meat through metrics like meat color, water-holding capacity, shear force, total microbial count, tissue examination via electron microscope, and taste changes via an electronic tongue.

Through this research, Deeplant will focus on predicting and analyzing the taste and tenderness of aged meat, recommending customized aged and processed meats preferred by consumers, and supplying healthy and delicious meat.

Professor Ju Seon-tae of Gyeongsang National University stated, "The taste of beef and pork changes depending on the cut and aging period. We plan to focus on confirming how the application of the Deep-Aging System improves taste-related physicochemical properties during the meat's storage period."

Deeplant CEO Kim Cheol-beom said, "Until now, we have been collecting and analyzing image and tenderness data of meat aged in our Deep-Aging System. We expect that through this research, we will be able to enhance our data by adding information on changes in taste, texture, and other properties."
