Mechanism of Conversion of Muscle to Meat - Meat Science
Description :
We, the general people think that the flesh of a living animal is converted into meat immediately after the slaughter of the animal. But the idea is wrong, because muscles take some time to be converted into meat. After the slaughter of a meat animal, the circulatory system, nervous system and hormonal control etc. gradually stop to function and muscles of the dead animal traverse through a series of biochemical and physical changes over a period of time. These altogether lead to production of meat and the process is called the conversion of muscle to meat.
