Notes:
Electrical stimulation, both high-voltage (HVES; 55OV) and low-voltage (LVES; 35V), resulted in brighter, more youthful appearing color of lean as compared to that of controls (not stimulated). There were no differences attributable to electrical stimulation for marbling or “heat-ring” score. Contrasts were made between LVES-A (35V), LVES-B (60V) and nonstimulated sides. LVES-A resulted in brighter color of lean but lower marbling scores than did LVES-B. LVES-B produced brighter lean color and lower “heat-ring” scores as compared to that of controls. Use of LVES-A resulted in higher marbling scores as compared to that of controls. “Shackled” sides of LVES (both A and B) carcasses had significantly higher incidences of iridescence and two-toning than did the “Free” sides and the controls.
