Histochemical, histological and physico‐chemical parameters of the longissimus, psoas major, gluteus medius, semitendinosus and semimembranosus beef muscles were investigated. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed among muscles for fiber type, cross‐sectional fiber area, sarcomere length, visual color, percent reflectance, myoglobin content, hemoglobin content, water‐holding capacity, transmission value, pH, moisture content, ether extractable constituents and protein content. Inner and outer areas of the semitendinosus and semimem‐branosus muscles differ histochemically in fiber type and color.
