Abstract:The goal was to determine relationships between color or biochemical traits at the beginning of retail display (day 1) and final discoloration (day 5) in longissimus dorsi (LD), triceps brachii (TB), and psoas major (PM) and determine what combination of initial traits was most predictive of final discoloration in each muscle. Muscles from 20 pigs were aged in vacuum packages and fabricated to yield 3 chops per muscle. These 3 chops from the same muscle from a single pig were displayed together under constant … Show more
