EFFECT OF COOLING AND FREEZING ON SALT UPTAKE BY NORMAL AND PSE SWINE MUSCLES DURING THE CURING.

Summary

STEAKS FROM NORMAL AND PSE PORK LONGISSIMUS DORSI MUSCLES WERE DIPPED IN A 3% SODIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION AFTER 24, 48 AND 72 HR CHILLING OR AFTER FREEZING IMMEDIATELY OR 24 HRS AFTER SLAUGHTER. PSE MUSCLES PRESENTED A HIGHER ABSORPTION CAPACITY OF THE SALT SOLUTION AFTER CURING AND A HIGH WEIGHT LOSS DURING CHILLING AND FREEZING ; FOR THIS REASON NORMAL MUSCLES HAVE A MUCH GREATER WEIGHT GAIN, EXPRESSED AS A RATIO TO FRESH MUSCLE PRIOR TO CHILLING OR FREEZING. FREEZING IMPROVED SALT ABSORPTION, BOTH IN NORMAL AND PSE MUSCLES, BUT ONLY QUICK-FREEZING PROMOTES WEIGHT GAIN.
