Creator:: Koohmaraie, Mohammad
Abstract:: 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...
