After slaughter, all carcasses were electrically stimulated (85 V, 14 Hz, 15 s; immediately after bleeding) and
hot carcass weight and EUROP-classi®cation determined. EUROP-meatiness classes (P=poor....E=superior, S=double muscled; including three subclasses per class) were converted to a scale of 1±18 and the ®vefatness classes (plus subclasses) to a scale of 1±15 (increasing fatness). After overnight chill (initial chill 2 h at 0 C, followed by 2±3C), carcasses were deboned and a number of muscles were collected and sampled for various studies (den Hertog-Meiske, Smulders, Houben & Eikelenboom, 1997). For this study the longissimus thoracis (LT) and psoas major (PM) muscles were divided into two parts at 2 days post mortem. One part was used for assessment of meat quality of fresh muscle; the
other part was vacuum packaged and aged for 26 days
at 0C.
