TENDERNESS is an important attribute of meat affecting its acceptability as a food. It is greatly influenced by the state of the connective tissue and the contraction state of the fibrillar proteins (Bouton and Harris, 1972a, b; Marsh and Leet, 1966). Hydrostatic pressure has been reported to influence the development of tension in muscle (Johnson et al., 1954; Brown, 1957; Johnson and Eyring, 1970), the tension being increased or decreased according to the temperature at which the muscle is pressurized. The tension-temperature relationship appears to be influenced by the animal species from which the muscle is obtained. Also, the chemical processes that occur in muscle have been reported to be influenced by pressure (Deuticke and Ebbecke, 1937). From the studies referred to above it appeared that pressure applied to muscle before the onset of rigor could influence subsequent biochemical reactions and the contraction state of muscle, and consequently might affect the eating quality of meat. This paper reports the results of studies in this area which have been carried out on sheep and ox muscles.
