| Research Abstract |
Consumer acceptance of fresh red meat is limited by surface accumulation of redish brown color pigment, metmyoglobin
The biochemical factors either rate of oxygen consumption or rate of metmyoglobin reduction suggested as the primary responsible factor for color stability of fresh red meat.
Reduction of metmyoglobin probably prolongs color stability by reducing metmyoglobin to myoglobin, which, is purple.
In the presence of oxygen, the myoglobin forms oxymyoglobin, which is red, therby mainting the cherry red color preferred by consumers.
Electrical stimulated metmyoglobin redustase has been isolated from muscles of different 8 species.
Metmyoglobin acumlation was affected by postmotem aging muscle type.
With regard to muscle type, M.longissmus dorsi more color-stable than M.psoas major. The muscle also differed in metmyoglobin reductase activity.
Metmyoglobin reductase activity was greter in M.longissmus dorsi, suggesting that metmyoglobin reductase many affect color stability.
