Thus, even if legislation allowed it it is unlikely that many consumers would be prepared to buy such meat. However if pre-rigor meat is subjected to pressures of about 100–150 MPa, below those necessary to cause colour changes, it becomes significantly more tender than its untreated counterpart and this may now be a commercially viable process, given the decreasing cost of high pressure rigs.When treated at 100–200 MPa while the temperature is raised fromambient to around 60 °C post-rigormeat also yields a tender product and this may also be a commercially attractive process to parts of the food industry, for example those involved in catering.
