Summary

THE RESULTS SHOW THAT NEITHER SPRAYING TEMPERATURE SEEMS TO EXERT A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON PH, GLYCOGEN AND THE AMOUNT OF SOLUBLE PROTEINS EIGHT DAYS AFTER SLAUGHTERING AND QUICK CHILLING, BUT THERE IS ABOUT 50% DECREASE IN LACTIC ACID AMOUNT. THE TREATMENT AT 323 K SEEMS TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOME TENDERISING OF MEAT. VIABLE MICROORGANISM COUNTS SHOW SOME EFFECT OF SPRAYING TEMPERATURE.
