14.3.1.1.1 Edible Beef Fat
Edible beef fat is obtained from bovine adi-
pose tissue covering the abdominal cavity and
surrounding the kidney and heart and from
other compact, undamaged fat tissues. The fat
is light-yellow due to carotenoids derived from
animal feed. It is of a friable, brittle consistency
and melts between 45 and 50◦C.
The fatty acid composition of beef fat (Ta-
ble 14.3) is not influenced greatly by feed intake,
but that of hog fat (lard) is. The composition of
edible beef fat triacylglycerols is given in 3.3.1.4.
The following commercial products are prepared
from beef fat:Prime Beef Fat (“premier jus”)
is obtained by melting fresh and selected fat
trimmings in water heated to 50–55◦C. The acid
