The Effect of PSE and Non-PSE Adductor and Semimembranosus Pig Muscles on the Occurrence of Destructured Zones in Cooked Hams

Table 2

Physical properties of m. adductor muscle identified as PSE and non-PSE (mean ± SD). The colour of m. adductor (AD) was measured by the CIELAB system, the pH value was detected by a pH meter with a Double Pore needle probe, the Warner-Bratzler test (W-B) was performed on an INSTRON 5544 instrument, and drip loss was evaluated using a polyethylene bag and filter paper.

Supplier	PSE/; non-PSE					pH	W-B (N)	Drip loss (%)
R	Non-PSE	10
	PSE	10
S	Non-PSE	11
	PSE	9
T	Non-PSE	11
	PSE	9
U	Non-PSE	3
	PSE	3
V	Non-PSE	10
	PSE	10
Z	Non-PSE	14
	PSE	6

: lightness, : redness, : yellowness, and W-B: Warner-Bratzler test-maximum shear force. letters in the same suppliers show statistically significant differences between non-PSE and PSE ().
