Abstract

The current study was conducted to identify relationship between myosin heavy chain I to objective color dimensions. Myosin heavy chain I isoform showed coefficients of determinant($r^2$) of 0.54 and 0.40 for Hunter a* and b* values. For he current dataset, Hunter a* value at day 1 had higher relationships with that at both day 7 and 14, emphasizing the importance of initial meat color which is largely affected by animal management prior to slaughter.
