Summary

THE RESULTS OF THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO COLD SHORTENINGAND ELECTROSTIMULATION ARE SUMMARIZED, TAKING SELECTED EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS AS AN EXAMPLE. IN ADDITION TO THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT CHILLING CONDITIONS ON THE QUALITY OF SHEEP AND BEEF MUSCLES REMOVED EITHER COLD OR HOT, THE OBJECT OF THE EXPERIMENTS WAS TO PREVENT COLD SHORTENING BY THE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF INDIVIDUAL MUSCLES, PARTS OF THE CARCASE AND WHOLE CARCASES WITH SKIN. THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS ELECTRICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL STIMULATION PARAMETERS ON THE CONSISTENCY, WATER BINDING AND SENSORY QUALITY AND ON THE DEGREE OF CONTRACTION WERE OF SPECIAL INTEREST.
