Muscle Tenderization

Muscle Tenderization is a postmortem physiological process in skeletal muscle that belongs to the category of muscle conversion phenomena, distinguished by the structural and biochemical alterations—such as proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins and cytoskeletal degradation—that reduce muscle toughness and enhance meat palatability during aging.
