Meat science

Flecks of fat woven through muscle

In meat science, marbling is the intramuscular fat deposited as fine flecks within the lean of a cut, the trait that grading systems reward because it tracks with juiciness and flavour in cooked meat. Hocquette and colleagues (2010) review how this intramuscular fat develops and how genetics and nutrition control it. The referent is the amount and distribution of fat inside the muscle, scored for grading, and it is a biological construct distinct from a marbled sheet of paper despite the shared name for a veined appearance.[1]
