Physicochemical and histochemical characteristics of bovine longissimus lumborum muscle defected as muscular steatosis (massive adipocyte infiltration).

Abstract excerpt

To understand muscular steatosis observed in beef carcasses, physicochemical and histochemical characteristics were compared between abnormal (massive fatty replaced) and normal regions of beef striploin. Fat content in the abnormal region (48.02%) was approximately twice than that in the normal region (22.01%). However, fatty acids did not show significant (P > 0.05) differences in their compositions between the...
