Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and calcium lactate on the solubility of beef collagen in raw and cooked meat. The content of total collagen, waterβ and acetic acidβsoluble collagen and insoluble collagen was determined in beef samples. Shearing force was measured after heat treatment. It was found that calcium ions had no significant effect on the solubility of muscular collagen. An improvement in beef tenderness (27%β34%) caused by calcium ions did not result from breaking of the native structure of muscular collagen.

Samples of beef L ongissimus thoracis et lumborum and Semimembranosus muscles were ultrasonicated either pre-or post-rigor using a 20 kHz ultrasonic probe at an operational electrical power output of 62 W cm~2 of radiating surface. This probe was placed at intervals along the surface of the meat for
The light-scattering patterns of sodium heparin under the influence of calcium ions were investigated using unpolarized light of 436 nm. A weight average molecular weight on the order of 17,500 was obtained for samples with varying degrees of sulfation. The interaction constant was found to be influ
