Summary

MUSCLES FROM HOT BONED BEEF WERE MOSTLY VISUALLY DARKER, HAD LESS OXYMYOGLOBIN, AND MORE METMYOGLOBIN THAN OTHER TREATMENTS. ELECTRICALLY STIMULATED AND ELECTRICALLY STIMULATED HOT BONED MUSCLES WERE VISUALLY SIMILAR,SUGGESTING THAT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION MINIMIZED THE DARKENING EFFECT. REGARDLESS OF TREATMENT, MUSCLE COLOUR WAS ACCEPTABLE AT 0, 1, 3 AND 5 DAYS OF DISPLAY.
