Summary

TWO EXTRA LOW VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (ES) SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN EVALUATED FOR THEIR EFFECT ON THE TENDERNESS OF BEEF. ES SAMPLES HAD VALUES WHICH WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN OBTAINED FOR UNSTIMULATED (NES) SAMPLES WHERE BOTH WERE HELD UNDER CHILLING CONDITIONS WHICH SHOULD HAVE PRODUCED CONSIDERABLE TOUGHENING, AND WERE NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM NES SAMPLES RESTRAINED FROM SHORTENING. CHILLING CONDITIONS, SHOWED NOT ONLY THAT THE ES SYSTEMS WORKED, BUT HOW WELL THEY WORKED.
