Notes:
Chicken muscle was analyzed for free sugars using separations by paper chromatography. Inositol, glucose, sedoheptulose, mannose, fructose, rihose, and rihulose were identified. Two other unknown compounds appeared to he arabinose and xylose. Five minor components detected were not identified.The principal free sugars present in chicken muscle immediately postmortem were glucose and fructose. Ribose occurred only in trace amounts. During a 6-day storage period at ice temperature, glucose levels increased in white muscle from 13-week-old pullets and also in both red and white muscle from old hens, but decreased in red muscle from pullets. Red muscle contained more than twice as much free iuositol as white muscle. Inositol, fructose, and ribose increased during storage in the two kinds of muscle in both older and younger birds.
