3.2.1. Summer
The PSE and DFD quality parameters were measured for thirteen transports for different lairage times. Again a difference in PSE meat prevalence was found between the muscles (Table 6). Data for PSE meat, identified on L*(50.0)u are not shown because this was not a good cut off value as mentioned above. A significant difference between 2 and 4 h lairage time and less than 2 h was found for the MG when PSE meat is PQMi defined, but not when PSE is L*(57.1)u defined. As mentioned above it is not reliable to define PSE prevalence based on one point measurement so it is suggested to consider both pHi and PQMi or pHi and L*(50.0)u / L*(57.1)u on one sample. No significant differences were found when PSE meat is pHi and PQMi or pHi and L*(50.0)u / L*(57.1)u defined.
