For this reason, the results of the present study were
in agreement with a previous report (Jeong et al., 2006). Lindahl,
Henckel, Karlsson, and Andersen (2006) reported that L*, a*, and b*
values of fresh pork increase slightly at later days of storage, whereas
Jeong et al. (2006) observed a decrease in L* and a* values and an
increase in the b* value in freeze-thawed pork during storage. In the
present study, a* values of fresh pork (C1 and C2) and b* values of all
treatments were significantly higher on later storage day than those
on the initial storage day (p b 0.05).
