SUMMARY
Acrylamide gel disc electrophoretic patterns of water‐soluble extracts consistently showed the presence of 2–4 fast‐moving, faint components which increased in relative intensity with post‐mortem aging. The electrophoretic patterns of salt‐soluble and urea‐soluble extracts showed no corresponding pattern changes. The extractability of unbuffered water‐soluble proteins was less at 24 hr postmortem than at 30 min post‐mortem in breast muscle obtained from seven 7–10‐week‐old chickens. The percentage of dialyzable pep‐tides in the water‐soluble extracts and the percentages of salt‐soluble and urea‐soluble proteins in those extracts remained fairly constant during a 24hr post‐mortem aging period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
