ABSTRACT Colorimetric measurements were recorded for sirloin steaks from control and vitamin E‐supplemented (370 I.U./animal/day) Holstein steers. Chroma and Hunter ‘a’ values of steaks from the supplemented group were significantly greater (P&0.01) on days 2, 4, 6, and 8 of 4°C storage. Color difference (ΔE) between the two treatment groups increased from days 0 to 6 and decreased between days 6 and 8.
