Summary

The effects of electrical stimulation at 700 volts (12.5, 14 or 25 hertz, 60 or 90 seconds) and of rapid chilling (10 deg C within 2-3 h) or conventional chilling (10 deg C within 5 h) are studied. The pH decrease is measured, as well as drip losses and meat tenderness. It is recommended to apply a 700-volt, 12.5 hertz stimulation for 90 seconds, twenty minutes after slaughtering.
