Abstract excerpt
The development of pork quality attributes - including color, water holding capacity, and texture - are controlled largely by the rate and extent of postmortem pH decline. In turn, pH decline is thought to follow the anaerobic degradation of glycogen to "lactic acid". The "Hampshire effect" or Rendement Napole (RN(-)) pig, which has elevated muscle glycogen, propagated the widespread use of "glycolytic potential"...
