Patties were prepared from mechanically deboned meat and ascorbic acid, then stored at 7 deg C for 5 days. Various methods were used to study variations in the patties'colour. A correlation was found between the colorimetric hue index, the saturation and intensity of the image, and the surface metmyoglobin content.
