| Research Abstract |
In the present study, the influence of low voltage elecltrical stimulation on changes in glycolysis, ATP, color stability, tenderness, binding quality, and elasticity of sausage, as well as the relationship between metabolic activity and tenderness, was examined in thirty two steers , eight cows and six lamp. Low voltage electrical stimulation was applied for 30 sec., 60 sec., and 90 sec. with low voltage (3.2-3.8v,13.8 hz).
Lean meat color scores for longissimus and gluteus medius muscles were significantly improved.
The 60 sec. and 90 sec. elecltrical stimulation treatment was significantly more tender than non or 30 sec. low voltage electrical stimulation treatment.
The degradation of troponine T and production of 30 K component were observed in myofibrillar proteins of electrical stimulation muscles for 60 and 90 sec. at the early stage (0-3 days).
Although sarcoplasmic proteins were not changed in the SDS-PAGE patterns untile 7 days, the degradation of sarcoplasmic proteins was observed at 0 day on the HPLC pattern in electical stimulation muscle.
