Abstract
Effect of calcium chloride marination at 5°C on post‐mortem changes in goose breast muscles was studied. Purified myofibrils were prepared from 0.1 M CaCl^2^ marinated muscles and controls (nonmarinated samples) after 0, 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of marination. The changes in myofibril fragmentation index (MFI), myofibrillar proteins and Z‐line structure of goose muscles were examined. Goose breast muscles marinated in 0.1 M CaCl^2^ at 5°C exhibited a more rapid rate of an increase in MFI, the appearance of 30 kDa component, and the disappearances of troponin‐T, ω‐actinin, titin, nebulin, and Z‐line structure than controls muscles did. It is concluded that 0.1 M CaCl^2^ marination at 5°C accelerates the post‐mortem changes in goose breast muscles.
