Prerigor pressurization of bovine semimembranosus muscle at 103.5
MNm⁻² (15,000 psi) for two min at 35°C significantly decreased
(P<0.01) muscle pH, and significantly (P<0.01) increased the rate of
glycogen degradation during the first 4 hr postmortem.
Glycogen levels of pressurized muscle were significantly
(P<0.01) lower than those of the control...
