To decrease the intake of animal fat and cholesterol, the changes in the physicochemical characteristics of beef loin cooked through different methods (boiling, steaming, baking, and frying) were investigated. The cooking weight loss, moisture drain rate, and cholesterol drain rate were highest during frying, whereas the lipid drain rate was highest during boiling. The pH value increased markedly during steaming, the acid value of meat fat increased remarkedly during boiling, and the refractive index of meat fat increased notably upon frying. The hardness of meat was remarkedly increased by steaming. The gumminess and chewiness of meat were notably increased by frying. The springiness slightly decreased during all the cooking methods, and the cohesiveness was not significantly affected by any cooking process. The CIE L* (lightness) value increased markedly during boiling, the CIE a* (redness) value decreased markedly during both boiling and steaming, and the CIE b* (yellowness) value decreased notably during all the cooking methods. The fatty acid composition did not significantly change after cooking, except when the meat was fried. Therefore, boiling is an effective cooking method for beef loin to decrease the intake of animal fat.
