Lean fresh meat has a water content of approximately 70%.One of the major challenges of meat processing is concernedwith preventing loss of liquid from lean meat tissue duringstorage. When meat is cut, a red solution of proteins that isknown as drip (or weep or purge) oozes from the cutsurfaces. For primals, the volume of drip produced in the first48 hours or so after boning is typically quoted to be about 1 to10 mL per kg of meat (0.1 to 1%), while for steaks or chops; itcan be 10 times greater.In meat that is stored for extended periods (e.g. vacuumpackagedprimals), the drip loss gradually increases withtime. A ‘normal’ amount of drip in commercial vacuum packsof chilled primals is usually regarded to be 1 to 2%. Drip ofmore than 1% is unusual for the main seam-boned primals,but it could be up to 2% for pieces of meat that are subject tocutting and trimming to achieve a specification. The amountwill be greater in smaller packs where the surface area isproportionately greater per unit weight. In some of thescientific investigations upon which information for this articleis based, the pieces of meat were small (for instance eighthsof striploins in one trial) to ensure that different treatmenteffects were tested with practical quantities of meat.
