Popis: | Injection of 0.25 M calcium chloride solution in less tender muscles, such as Biceps femoris, from relatively old animals produced tenderness increase in a shorter aging time (2 days). Protein degradation obtained after submitting muscle samples to the combination of calcium treatment plus two days of aging, was comparable to the proteolysis observed after 7 days of aging (Light Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis). Consumers were not only able to detect the resulting tenderness increment but also preferred calcium treated samples. The practice of calcium treatment on this widely used muscle -which is less tender, or with tenderness inconsistencies- has a benefit for both the industry and consumers. |
