Overview

Review demonstrates how pH changes affect birefringence and reflectance in meat muscle tissues.

Key Points

  • As pH decreased, birefringence increased, indicating structural changes in muscle fibers.
  • X-ray diffraction confirmed that thick and thin myofilaments move closer together with lower pH levels.
  • Intact muscle disks showed that decreased pH resulted in increased reflectance, impacting the appearance of meat.
  • The model systems help explain why meat becomes brighter as muscle transitions to meat.
