This study aimed to investigate the multivariate relationship between the glycolytic potential, and meat quality traits from grass-fed steers carcasses with variations in early postmortem pH.From a contemporary group of steers (n=70) from the same production unit and stickers logos dallas cowboys slaughtered under similar conditions, thirty carcasses (10/group) were selected based on pH values measured at 3h (pH3h): Low ( 6.5).
Carcasses segregated by pH3h groups were different (p 0.05) among pH3h groups.Color variables had a positive and moderate read more correlation with MGC, G+G6P, LC, and GP.
Results does not allow to recommend early carcass segregation by very early pH (3h postmortem); however, important bivariate and multivariate relationships between G+G6P, lactate content and instrumental color parameters in LL muscle from grass-fed cattle were demonstrated.
