Metmyoglobin reductase activity in porcine m. longissimus dorsi muscle
Meat Science, 1999Reduction of metmyoglobin by metmyoglobin reductase extracted from porcine m. longissimus dorsi was found to depend on the presence of NADH and to a lesser degree on the presence of an electron transfer mediator (ferrocyanide). The porcine metmyoglobin reductase was found to reduce equine metmyoglobin and metmyoglobin isolated from pigs hearts using a ...

Procedure for determination of glycolytic potential in porcine m. longissimus dorsi
Meat Science, 1999The aim of this work was primarily to work out a procedure for removal of samples from LD for determination of glycolytic potential in connection with experiments at commercial abattoirs and secondly to determine the correlation between glycolytic potential and ultimate-pH in Danish pigs. Samples of LD were taken immediately after exsanguination and 30

Drip loss sampling in porcine m. longissimus dorsi
Meat Science, 2003The effect of the sampling position is investigated when measuring drip loss in porcine longissimus dorsi muscle. Measuring in biological tissue often includes an assumption of homogeneity of the muscle under investigation, an assumption that only applies to a certain extent.

Cold-shortening toughness in excised pork M. Longissimus dorsi
Meat Science, 1985Excised pork M. Longissimus dorsi from six Large White Cross pigs were subjected to a range of chilling rates using temperatures between 20°C and -20°C. Onset of rigor at 20°C varied from 3 to 7.5 h between animals and rigor was complete in 6.5 to 15 h.

Recommended terminology for the muscle commonly designated ‘longissimus dorsi’
Meat Science, 1990Musculus longissimus of the erector spinae is frequently used by meat scientists because of its relative mass, its commercial importance and its variability in quality. Its designation has fluctuated considerably due to confusion over interpretation of accepted anatomical guidelines, some of which have been altered to improve precision.

The effects of training aids on the longissimus dorsi in the equine back
Comparative Exercise Physiology, 2008This study aimed to determine whether training aids (side reins and a Pessoa) increased the use of the longissimus dorsi when horses are being lunged. Horses were lunged on a circle under four different conditions on the left and right reins in walk and trot, and electromyographic (EMG) and speed measurements were taken using surface EMG at T16 and GPS,

The pH1 of longissimus dorsi muscle in purebred and commercial pigs
Livestock Production Science, 1975Abstract The pH was measured at 45 min post-mortem (pH 1 ) in the longissimus dorsi muscle (lumbar region) of 8 188 pigs as a criterion of meat quality. The results showed that purebred animals had a lower average pH 1 (6.53 ± 0.01) than commercial (6.59 ± 0.01) and that the Irish Landrace breed had a lower average (6.48 ± 0.01) than the Large White

Effects of manipulative therapy on the longissimus dorsi in the equine back
Equine and Comparative Exercise Physiology, 2006AbstractPain, atrophy and dysfunction of thelongissimus dorsiin the equine back can lead to poor performance and altered biomechanics. Back problems are often treated by manipulative therapy to this muscle. The purpose of this study was to identify if manipulative therapy resulted in changes to muscle tone or electromyographic (EMG) activity ...

Automatic segmentation of beef longissimus dorsi muscle and marbling by an adaptable algorithm
Meat Science, 2009An algorithm for automatic segmentation of beef longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and marbling has been developed. The algorithm used simple thresholding to remove the background and then used clustering and thresholding with contrast enhancement via a customised greyscale to remove marbling.

Influence of hydrocortisone acetate of the Longissimus dorsi muscle during gestation of rats
Food / Nahrung, 1987AbstractThe evolution in detail of the N retention during gestation was studied, dividing it in short periods of time, and how that retention affects Longissimus dorsi muscle. Simultaneously, the same study in pregnant rats treated with hydrocortisone acetate was done.During gestation N balance maintains high values that tend to increase at days 18 to ...
