Summary

AN INVESTIGATION USING HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (ES) SHOWED THAT LAMBS SHOULD BE STIMULATED WITHIN 30 MIN OF SLAUGHTER FOR 60-120 SEC FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT ON WARNER-BRATZLER SHEAR FORCE VALUES. SHEAR FORCE VALUES WERE SIGNIFI-CANTLY REDUCED BY ES. HOWEVER, AGING BETWEEN 273 AND 282 K (0 AND 9 DEG C) FOR 2-3 DAYS, REDUCED SHEAR FORCE VALUES OF NONSTIMULATED LAMB SUBJECTED TO MODERATE CHILLING RATES TO THOSE OF ES SAMPLES AT 1 DAY POSTMORTEM. INCREASING AGING TEMPERATURE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED AGING RATE BUT DURATION OF AGING HAD THE GREATER EFFECT.
