Abstract

The present work aimed to estimate the usefulness and effectiveness of selected physicochemical indicators in the evaluation of meat quality as well as culinary and processing value using a simple and canonical phenotypic correlation method. Studies were carried out in 495 porkers. The most relationships were obtained for the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) breakdown indicator (R 1 ), electrical conductivity (EC) and glycolytic potential (GP) with meat quality traits that are non-diagnostic criteria, i.e., lipids and protein content, water holding capacity (WHC), technological yield (TY), drip loss (DL) and meat tenderness (MT). The results of this study indicate that about 62% of the variability in meat quality is the result of the initial level of glycogen in muscle tissue. The strong relationship between EC 2 and pH 24 (acidity of the muscle tissue at 24 h after slaughter) parameters and a wide spectrum of traits of meat quality (sets covering the parameters of the culinary and processing quality of meat and indicating the volume of drip loss), as well as with the pH 1 and R 1 criteria confirms the possibility to perform a quick and cheap ‘on line’ classification of qualitative meat properties in meat processing plants.
