Mitochondrial functionality and beef colour: A review of recent research

  • 2019
  • Issue: 1
  • Volume: 49
R. Ramanathan, M.N. Nair, M.C. Hunt & S.P. Suman Page: 9 - 19

The bright-red colour of meat that consumers prefer depends on the depth of oxygen diffusion into the tissue and myoglobin oxygenation. Interestingly, both processes are influenced by mitochondrial activity in postmortem muscle. The transition of muscle metabolism from aerobic to…
