INVESTIGATION OF LOW VOLTAGE STIMULATED BEEF CARCASSES.

Summary

THE ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS USED WERE 15 V PEAK-TO-PEAK SQUARE WAVE PULSES OF 0.5 PULSES/SECOND FOR 1 MINUTE. LONGISSIMUS DORSI WAS REMOVED AND VACUUM PACKAGED. DRIP AND COOKING LOSSES, SHEAR FORCE AND BACTERIOLOGICAL STANDARD WERE DETERMINED. TENDERNESS, TASTE AND JUICINESS WERE EVALUATED BY A TRAINED PANEL. THE AUTHORS ARE OF THE OPINION THAT LOW VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IS AN EXCELLENT METHOD FOR PRODUCING MEAT OF GOOD QUALITY AT A LOWER COST THAN BY CONVENTIONAL METHODS.
