Breast meat color from eight young turkey torn flocks was monitored during the summer. The average L value was 48.5 with a variance of 6 4. Samples with L > 50 showed the PSE problem. Correlations among color, pH, water-holding and texture indicated that a rapid color determination can be used to distinguish PSE meat.
