Summary

Studies on two german pig breeds in two slaughter houses 45 minutes after slaughter found pH values of 5.4 to 7.0. Measurements of electrical conductivity and colour intensivity after 24 hours found correlation coefficients of -0.88 or -0.86 to the pH value that was recorded after 45 minutes. All other quality indicators in carcasses and in parts had less narrow correlations. The use of electrical conductivity and colour intensivity to check quality indicators in pork is recommended.
