Modelling postmortem evolution of pH in beef M. biceps femoris under two different cooling regimes

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

A model based on enzyme kinetics was developed to predict differences in postmortem pH change in beef muscles as affected by cooling rate. For the calibration and validation of the model, pH and temperature measurements were conducted at different positions in M. biceps femoris following conventional carcass cooling or faster cooling of the muscle after hot boning. The glycogen conversion, and, hence, the pH fall, was observed to significantly vary with position and cooling regime but only during the initial hours of cooling. Comparison of the cooling regimes indicated that fast cooling following hot boning avoids heat shortening induced by the combined effect of high temperature and low pH.
