Postmortem Muscle Conversion

Postmortem Muscle Conversion is a biochemical and physiological process whereby muscle tissue undergoes structural and metabolic changes after slaughter, transitioning from a living state to rigor mortis and ultimately to meat, characterized by the depletion of adenosine triphosphate, accumulation of lactic acid, and pH decline, distinguishing it from antemortem muscle physiology and determining the final quality attributes of poultry and red meat.
