Summary

RAPID CHILLING INCREASES THE TOUGHNESS OF THE LONGISSIMUS DORSI MUSCLE (LD) BUT NOT THAT OF THE SEMIMEMBRANOSUS MUSCLE (SM). STIMULATION IMPROVES THE TENDERNESS OF ALL MUSCLES, INCREASES THE LOSSES DUE TO RAPID CHILLING IN SM AND THE COLOUR LOSS IN LD. HIP SUSPENSION DECREASES LOSSES DUE TO RAPID CHILLING AND IMPROVES TENDERNESS AS DOES ELECTRICAL STIMULATION. AGEING (7 DAYS) IMPROVES TENDERNESS EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF HIP SUSPENSION. (Bibliogr. int.
