Resumen
Meat samples from m. (ortgi.ssimtts Ihoracis from 24 sucking lambs of Manchega breed were tasted by six assessors. Lambs were slaughtercd at 10 or 14 kg liveweight. Texture parametcrs (hardness, springiness and juiciness) were measured. Panelists found no differences in any parameters. Nevertheless, there was a trend to perceive the meat of the heaviest animals as less hard, juicier and less springy. Parameters and scales used are discussed. The methodology used in this trial is found convenient for describing sensory texture in sucking lambs mcat.
