Summary

The development of rigor mortis and of related phenomena like muscle shortening, as affected by the temperature of post mortem storage, was studied in lamb longissimus dorsi removed from the carcass. The results largely confirmed earlier reports on the patterns of post mortem variation of pH, lactic acid, adenosine-5'-triphosphate concentration, fibre shortening, extensibility and water holding capacity in other animal species and muscles.
