Abstract
The effect of electrical stimulation on changes in pH of meat stored at ambient and refrigeration temperatures showed that electrical stimulation has brought down the pH and the pH of ES samples was significantly lower than that for the C samples at 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 h of storage both at ambient and refrigerated temperatures. At 24 h of storage, the pH values of ES and C samples were not significantly different. Electrical stimulation followed by storage at ambient temperahtre helped to bring down the pH of meat below 6.00 in a shorter time.
