Summary

ONE-YEAR-OLD BULLS WERE STIMULATED ELECTRICALLY WITHIN 5 MIN POSTMORTEM. DURING 1.5 MIN 300 V, 50 HERTZ WERE APPLIED EITHER CONTINUOUSLY (N = 8) OR INTERMITTENTLY USING 24 BURSTS OF 2.5 S WITH 1.5 S INTERVAL (N = 7). THE SKINNING PROCESS WAS NOT FACILITATED BY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION. BOTH CONTINUOUS AND INTERMITTENT STIMULATION RESULTED IN A SIMILAR, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE RAPID, PH FALL. AT 24 H POSTMORTEM SAMPLES OF APPROXIMATELY 800 G WERE EXCISED, VACUUM PACKAGED AND STORED AT 276 K (3 DEG C) + OR -1 K. AT DAY 7 ELECTRICALLY STIMULATED SAMPLES SHOWED SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER SARCOMERES, LOWER SHEAR FORCE VALUES AND HIGHER TASTE PANEL TENDERNESS SCORES. CONTINUOUS AND INTERMITTENT STIMULATION DID NOT RESULT IN DIFFERENCES.
