Abstract:High pH value 45 minutes after slaughter (рН45) has so far been the most frequently used indicator to select pig carcasses with normal course of autolysis.

To perform the study, we randomly selected 320 individuals for slaughter out of 1,059 individuals of mixed swine grown in the same conditions.… Show more
