Summary

48 CARCASSES WERE USED TO DETERMINE EFFECTS OF: CHILLING 48 HR AT 278 K (5 DEG C), ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (45 MIN POSTMORTEM, 400 VOLTS FOR 2 MIN, PULSED), AND HOT BONING (HB, 2 HR POSTMORTEM), AND COMBINATION TREATMENTS ON MUSCLE COLOUR OF VACUUM PACKAGED STEAKS. HB MUSCLES FREQUENTLY WERE VISUALLY BRIGHTER PURPLISH-RED. REFLECTANCE INDICATORS OF REDUCED MYOGLOBIN AND METMYOGLOBIN WERE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME ACROSS TREATMENTS. VACUUM PACKAGED FRESH BEEF STEAKS FROM ALL TREATMENTS WERE ACCEPTABLE IN COLOUR AT 0, 3, 7, AND 14 DAYS OF DISPLAY.
