| The basic knowledge that mitochondrial enzymes are released by freezing-and-thawing muscle tissue was used to develop a fairly simple objective test to distinguish between meat that has been frozen-and-thawed and that which has never been frozen. Previous studies indicate that glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) of muscle press juice (MPJ) can be used for this. The test requires the determination of the relative amounts of mitochondrial isozyme (GOT(M)) and sarcoplasmic isozyme (GOT(S)) ... |
