Dielectric spectroscopy and TD-NMR investigation for assessing water solid dynamics in normal and wooden breast chicken.

ABSTRACT: Dielectric Spectroscopy (DS) and TimeDomain-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR) were exploited to investigate water and solid dynamics in chicken's Pectoralis major muscles having macroscopically normal appearance (N) and affected by Wooden Breasts (WB) abnormality. 147 PMM were collected and classified as macroscopically normal (N) (N=74) or Wooden Breast (WB) (N=73) based on their visual appearance and manual palpation. Protons' T₂ (transverse relaxation time), and dielectric properties were carried out. The dielectric constant ( [Formula: see text] and the loss factor ( [Formula: see text] of γ relaxation of WB samples was significantly higher than the one of N samples ( [Formula: see text] 59.8 and [Formula: see text] 18.3), while the WB revealed a low relaxation frequency (
