abstract
The use of electrical stimulation became a very active area of research in the mid 1970's because of its ability to tenderize meat and increase qualityindicating characteristics of the carcass. Various mechanisms have been investigated as to how electrical stimulation tenderizes meat and changes some of its properties, primarily color. This paper reviews the proposed mechanisms of tenderization and variables associated with its application. Copyright 1982, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
