Effect of prerigor pressurization on postmortem biochemical changes in beef muscle

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 wer...
