| Summary: | 24 h postmortem. After aging fillets were analyzed for cook 450 mA, AC, 60 Hz, 2 s on/ I s off for 10 pulses) or used as All fillets were sampled at time of deboning for expressible and at 24 h postmortem. and sarcomere length. The remainder of the fillet and the as indicated by significantly lower pH values and color values. These results suggest that this postmortem controls or the 24 h controls. Although ES accelerated deboned at 2 h had significantly longer sarcomeres compared differences between the 2 h ES treatment and the 8 h ES, 8 h different from the 8 h ES, 8 h controls or the 24 h controls. electrical stimulation (ES) on muscle metabolism and breast Electrical stimulation accelerated rigor mortis development electrical stimulation system would not benefit turkey electrically stimulated at the neck in a saline bath (570 V, Fillets from carcasses that were electrically stimulated and harvested from the ES carcasses at 8 h postmortem and from loss and shear value. Color was measured at time of deboning meat quality in turkeys. Thirty-six turkey hens were either moisture, pH, R-value, gravimetric fragmentation index (GFI), muscle metabolism at 2 h postmortem, it had no effect on processors. R-values of the 2 h ES treatment were not significantly samples for GFI and sarcomere length were aged on ice until shear value, expressible moisture, cook loss, GFI, L* or a* significantly higher R-values at 2 h postmortem. The pH and the unstimulated controls at either 8 or 24 h postmortem. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of to the 2 h controls; however, there were no significant unstimulated controls. One breast fillet from all carcasses was harvested at 2 h postmortem. The opposite fillet was |
