Summary

PAIRED M. LONGISSIMUS DORSI MUSCLES FROM 56 CARCASSES OF DANISH LANDRACE AND YORKSHIRE BREEDS, SLAUGHTERED AT APPROXIMATELY 90 KG LIVE WEIGHT, WERE UTILIZED TO STUDY THE POTENTIAL OF COLD INDUCED TOUGHNESS IN PORK. PH AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS OBTAINED FROM MUSCLES LEFT ON CARCASSES DURING CHILLING SHOWED THAT MUSCLES BELONGING TO THE HIGH PH GROUP INVOLVE A RISK OF COLD SHORTENING EVEN WHEN A 2 H DELAY WAS USED BEFORE PASSING INTO THE CHILLING TUNNEL.
