Currently it is unknown if meat quality acceptability thresholds can be established to help provide an indication of consumer acceptability of alpaca meat. A total of 50 M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum samples were taken from six treatments (three age groups (18, 24 and 36 months) and two genders (castrated males and females)). Each sample was tested for meat quality parameters including pH, shear force, cooking loss, intramuscular fat content and consumer sensory evaluation. After running a series of regressions on the data it was determined that objective meat quality measures and animal age were not strongly related to sensory traits and only a low level of accuracy was obtained (<10%). Therefore, based on the results reported here it is apparent that it is not feasible to reliably use objective meat quality threshold parameters to indicate whether alpaca meat will be acceptable to consumers based on the current sample.
