Meat tenderness is considered to be one of the most important attributes of meat quality; however it is also one of the most variable. Ultimate meat tenderness is influenced by the amount of intramuscular connective tissue, the length of the sarcomere and also the proteolytic potential of the muscle. Post-mortem proteolysis by endogenous proteases causes the weakening of myofibril structures and associated...
One of the most common causes of unacceptability in meat quality is toughness. Toughness is attributed to a range of factors including the amount of intramuscular connective tissue, intramuscular fat, and the length of the sarcomere. However, it is apparent that the extent of proteolysis of key proteins within muscle fibres is significant determinant of ultimate tenderness. The objective of this manuscript...
