Popis: Undenatured oxymyoglobin and deoxymyoglobin were the pigments responsible for pink color in pork roasts cooked to 65 o C. Roasts cooked to 82 o C had gray internal color after cooking, but panelists noted development of pink internal color after refrigerated storage. Reflectance spectra of pink slices from roasts cooked to 82 o C, then stored for 12 days at 2 o C, were characteristic of denatured globin hemochromes or related nonnitrosyl hemochromes
