As more beef silver skin is added to meat mixtures, the cooked product becomes darker, with lightness dropping from 64.1 to 62.9 when silver skin goes from 0% to 10%.
Scientific Claim
Cooked meat emulsion lightness (L*) is linearly associated with beef silver skin levels, decreasing from 64.1 to 62.9 as inclusion rose from 0% to 10% (p = 0.045).
Original Statement
“Cooked emulsion L* linearly decreased (p = 0.045) as beef silver skin level increased.”

Assessment Explanation
The study design cannot establish causation; the claim correctly uses 'linearly associated with' to describe the statistical relationship observed.
