A 2x2 factorial experimental design with 2 replications was
used to study the effects of a combination of electrical stimulation
and delayed chilling of pre-rigor muscle on meat characteristics.
Twenty Standard and Good grade beef cattle were slaughtered and 5
carcasses were assigned to each of the 4 treatments. Meat...
Investigations were conducted to determine the effect of prerigor pressurization (15,000 psi, 37°C, 2 min.) of beef muscle on the subsequent retail/case-life characteristics of the treated meat. In addition, the activity of the calcium activated factor (CAF) of prerigor pressurized (PRP) muscle was also investigated. For fresh beef samples, PRP...
