	abstract = {Retail audit studies were undertaken in both Sydney and Melbourne to   establish benchmarks for quality at the retail level. Midloins were obtained   from ticketed carcasses at 14 retail outlets in Sydney, on 3 occasions (2x3)   during the same week in March 1994. In Melbourne, midloin samples were   obtained from non-ticketed carcasses in 38 and 40 retail outlets in June 1993   and January 1994 respectively. Using an L* value of 32 and a pH value of   5.8 as criteria of acceptability it was found that similar numbers of   unacceptable samples occurred in both cities. Using a Warner Bratzler (WB)   shear force of 5 kg as an indicator of unacceptable toughness, 15\% of   samples from Sydney were unacceptable compared to 5\% in Melbourne.   Carcass age significantly (P<0.001) influenced the WB values for Sydney   samples. When WB values were adjusted to 1 or 3 day old equivalents 27\%   and 6\% exceeded 5kg respectively. The results indicate that management   options (such as aging), and objective measurement of carcass and meat   quality can be applied to increase knowledge and improve the overall quality   of lamb and its reputation with consumers.   },
