Summary

Pork muscle fibers and minced pork were subjected to high-pressure treatment (800 megapascals) for 20 minutes at 20 deg C before storage at 4 deg C. Oxydation was faster in these samples than in those treated at 300 megapascals. The study showed that pressures greater than 300 or 400 megapascals cause denaturation in myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins and the conversion of the myoglobin and oxymyoglobin in their denatured ferric form.
