Abstract

Final pH was determined in the bovine dorsal long muscle at the level of the third lumbar vertebra in commercial carcasses, verifying an arithmetic mean of 5.75. It was observed that high pH values (>=6.0) occurred in low frequency (0.43%) and showed no correlation to the sazonality.

KEY-WORDS: Meat quality; dorsal long muscle (m. longissimus dorsis).
