The role of histidine dipeptides on postmortem acidification of broiler muscles with different energy metabolism.

ABSTRACT: It is generally held that the content of several free amino acids and dipeptides is closely related to the energy-supplying metabolism of skeletal muscles. Metabolic characteristics of muscles are involved in the variability of meat quality due to their ability to influence the patterns of energy metabolism not only in living animal but also during postmortem time. Within this context, this study aimed at establishing whether the concentration of histidine dipeptides can affect muscle postmortem metabolism, examining the glycolytic pathway of 3 chicken muscles (pectoralis major, extensor iliotibialis lateralis, and gastrocnemius internus as glycolytic, intermediate, and oxidative-type, respectively) selected based on their histidine dipeptides content and ultimate pH. Thus, a total of 8 ca
