Effect of myosin heavy chain isoform composition on tenderness of bovine muscles from carcasses of two skeletal maturities /

Bovine muscles (m. semitendinosus and m. longissimus lumborum) from carcasses of A- and E-skeletal maturity (SMAT) were evaluated for percentage composition of myosin heavy chain isoforms (MHC) while in the pre-rigor state, pre-rigor calpastatin and m-calpain activity, Warner-Bratzler shear force (W...
