    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_hanging

    For dry-aged beef, the meat is hung in a room kept between 33–37 degrees Fahrenheit (1–3 degrees Celsius), with relative humidity of around 85%. If the room is too hot, the meat will spoil, and if it is too cold, the meat freezes and dry aging stops. Good ventilation prevents bacteria from developing on the meat. The meat is checked on ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_aging

    Moreover, only the higher grades of meat can be dry aged, as the process requires meat with a large, evenly distributed fat content.

  9. Heterocyclic amine formation in meat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterocyclic_amine...

    HCA formation during cooking depends on the type of meat, cooking temperature, the degree of browning and the cooking time. Meats that are lower in fat and water content show higher concentrations of HCAs after cooking. More HCAs are formed when pan surface temperatures are higher than 220 °C (428 °F) such as with most frying or grilling.
