This research evaluated the effects of different antioxidants on overall quality of beef patties from steers fed distillers grains. Crossbred steers (n = 24) were fed corn, 40% Dry distillers grains plus solubles, or 40% modified distillers grains plus solubles – Dry Matter basis). Patties were made from ground chuck of individual animals and 4 antioxidant treatments were evaluated (CONTROL - no antioxidant, 0.3% ROSEMARY, 0.25% ACEROLA, and 0.6% CITRUS). Diets minimally affected quality attributes. Patties treated with ROSEMARY were shown significant lighter in color than other treatments on day 6. Patties treated with CITRUS were the reddest on days 5 and 6 of display. ACEROLA and CITRUS provided better lipid stability during display when compared to CONTROL and ROSEMARY. Treatment CITRUS reduced APC growth by 2 log when compared to all other treatments (P < 0.01). Although patties treated with CITRUS had higher off-flavor intensity, no effect was observed for overall desirability. Patties treated with 0.6% of CITRUS provided optimal overall quality.
