Karakteristik Organoleptik Daging Domba yang Diberi Stimulasi Listrik Voltase Rendah dan Injeksi Kalsium Klorida
Abstract: Effect of low
voltage electrical stimulation (LVES; 45 volt, 3 amps for approx 100 sec) and
CaCl2 injection on sensory characteristic of mutton were evaluated. Six mutton
were divided into 3 groups slaughtered. One carcass of each group was subjected
to LVES treatment within 30 min postmortem (PM). After LVES, longissimi thoracis
et lumborum muscles were removed and treated: without CaCl2 injection, CaCl2
injection (200 mM, 5% w/w) 2 h and 24 h PM. Samples were stored in a vacuum
pack at 1 ± 10C. Results showed that LVES could be used to improve colour of
meat. CaCl2 injection, especially without LVES produced smooth mutton texture.
CaCl2 injection 24 hr PM without LVES decreased meat elasticity. LVES with
CaCl2 injection 2 hr PM was the best treatment to produce fresh mutton with
good sensory characteristic.
