High-intensity and high-frequency ultrasound was tested for its ability to accelerate meat ageing and increase beef tenderness. Samples (approximate to 50 g) of semimembranosus muscles from 8 cull cows were assigned to ultrasonic treatment (2.6 MHz; 10W/cm(2); 2 x15 s) either pre-rigor (day 0, pH 6.2) or post-rigor (day 1, pH 5.4). When applied pre-rigor, ultrasound induced a slight delay in rigor mortis onset, a stretching (12-15%) of the sarcomeres (p < 0.05), an ultrastructural alteration in the Z-line region and an immediate increase (around 30%) in the release of calcium in the cytosol (p < 0.05). However, no conclusive effect on meat ageing rate was observed. Post-rigor ultrasonic treatment did not induce any structural modification but slightly improved the ageing index after 6 days (p
