Semitendinosus (ST) muscle cut into similar-sized pieces (3 cm ? 3 cm ? 3 cm), and the connective tissue and fat deposits were removed manually.
Meat samples were divided into three batches (or replicates) and placed on separate polystyrene trays wrapped with shrink film.
One portion from each batch or replicate was subjected to characterisation of protein and lipids, and another portion was used for studying the changes in protein and lipid fraction and assessing quality parameters during storage at 4 8C.
During storage, the samples were taken and evaluated after every 3rd day up to 9 days
