SBendall (1954) evaluated the effect of 0.25 and 0.50% of
diphosphate in 1% sodium chloride solution (overall
concentrations) on the volume increase of the mince
rabbit muscle. The addition of: (i) 1% sodium chloride
solution led to the volume increase of 120.0 ± 6.0%; (ii)
1% sodium chloride solution/0.25% diphosphate led to
the volume increase of 151.0 ± 14.0%; and (iii) 1%
sodium chloride solution/0.5% diphosphate led to the
volume increase of 164.0 ± 14.0% (expressed as the
percentage of untreated fresh muscle). The cooked
volumes were 171.0 ± 4.0% (1% sodium chloride solution),
