ABSTRACT
Five treatments Control (C), Pre-evisceration Electrical Stimulation (CES 15 Hz, 700 mA, 500 µs pulse width, 45 s pulse duration), vascular Rinse & Chill® (RC), CES + RC (ESRC), and RC with ES after evisceration (RCES15 Hz, 600 mA, 1000 µs, 45 s), were applied to 21 lambs each. After being excised from the carcass, muscles were vacuum packaged and aged (Longissimus lumborum, LL, 3 and 22 d postmortem; Semimembranosus, SM, 3 d postmortem). Temperature, pH, purge, cooking loss, color, Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF), and consumer sensory evaluations were determined. CES and ESRC resulted in the fastest drop in pH below 6 and ESRC had the lowest likelihood of cold shortening. Sensory tenderness in the ESRC LL was greater than C. No differences in WBSF were found among treatments. RC generally produced lamb with higher lightness (L*). The rapid drop in pH likely was responsible for the increased purge and cooking loss observed. Color was affected by the order of ES and RC application.
