Consequently, postmortem technologies have been applied to carcasses or steaks from animals fed with ZH (i.e., aging, enhancement, blade tenderization, electric stimulation) to improve the inherent problems of increased shear force on strip steaks, and the results, especially in short-aged product, have not always demonstrated similar WBSF values (Brooks et al.,
2009, 2010; Leheska et al., 2009; Hope-Jones et al., 2010).
