Summary

LEFT SIDES OF 30 SLAUGHTERED PIGS WERE ELECTRICALLY STIMULATED (ES) ;RIGHT SIDES WERE NOT STIMULATED. SIDES WERE PLACED IN A CONVENTIONAL COOLER (24 HR) OR BLAST FREEZER (3 HR) OR SHOWERED WITH A BRINE SOLUTION. TWENTY-FOUR HR POSTMORTEM, PICNIC SHOULDERS WERE DISSECTED INTO FOUR MUSCLE GROUPS. ES DECREASED PH VALUES FOR PREDOMINANTLY WHITE MUSCLES, INCREASED JUICE LOSS DURING COOKING FOR SHANK MUSCLES AND DECREASED PERCENTAGES OF SALT-SOLUBLE PROTEIN FOR RED AND SHANK MUSCLES. OTHER MUSCLE PROPERTIES WERE NOT AFFECTED BY ES. RAPID INITIAL CHILLING DID NOT AFFECT PROCESSING PROPERTIES.
