Summary

THE EFFECTS OF LOW TEMPERATURE AND INCREASED OXYGEN CONCENTRATION ON COLOUR OF INTACT PRE-RIGOR MUSCLE WERE DETERMINED. NORMALLY DARK, INTACT, PRE-RIGOR MUSCLE TURNED BRIGHT RED WHEN HELD AT LOW TEMPERATURE AND HIGH OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. THE EFFECT WAS REVERSIBLE. THE BRIGHT RED COLOUR OBSERVED IN PRE-RIGOR MUSCLE AT LOW TEMPERATURE AND IN OXYGEN WAS DUE TO LOWER MITOCHONDRIAL OXYGEN CONSUMPTION AT LOW TEMPERATURE, WHICH ALLOWED MYOGLOBIN TO BECOME OXYGENATED AT HIGH OXYGEN CONCENTRATION.
