Summary

POSTMORTEM METABOLISM WAS FOLLOWED BY PHOSPHORUS-31-NMR IN MUSCLE SAMPLES OBTAINED FROM FRESHLY SLAUGHTERED PIGS AND LAMBS. THE RATES OF POSTMORTEM METABOLISM VARIED. HOWEVER, THE COURSE OF POSTMORTEM METABOLISM WAS, IN ALL CASES, THE SAME. IN A SEPARATE SET OF EXPERIMENTS THE POSTMORTEM METABOLISM DURING THAWING WAS STUDIED IN BOVINE MUSCLES THAT HAD BEEN FROZEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER SLAUGHTER. AGAIN, THE SAME COURSE OF POSTMORTEM METABOLISM WAS OBSERVED, BUT THE THAW SHORTENING WAS ACCOMPANIED BY AN EXTREMELY RAPID POSTMORTEM METABOLISM, WHICH WAS MORE THAN TEN TIMES AS FAST AS THAT MEASURED FOR FRESH BOVINE MUSCLES.
