What is Muscle to Meat Conversion Process about?
Conversion of muscle to meat involves several important postmortem changes over hours or days following slaughter. There is an immediate loss of oxygen to the muscle from exsanguination. This shifts energy metabolism to anaerobic glycolysis, producing lactic acid and lowering muscle pH. The decline in pH and loss of homeostasis causes rigor mortis as actomyosin bonds form, stiffening the muscles. The postmortem environment also allows invading microorganisms and activates proteolytic enzymes that degrade mu
