SUMMARY This study was conducted to determine how altering the course of post‐mortem changes artificially through liquid nitrogen (L‐N 2 ) treatment, affects certain physieochemical properties of the musculature. L‐N 2 ‐treated muscles were superior to the untreated pale, soft, exudative muscles in ultimate gross morphology (color structure) and myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein extractability. L‐N 2 treatment also improved the emulsifying properties of the muscle and decreased the post‐mortem production of reducing sugars. The significance and interrelationships of these properties were discussed.
