摘要
Different voltage and frequency (T-1 = 49 V, 250 Hz; T-2 = 130 V, 172 Hz; T-3 = 22 V, 833 Hz) combinations of electrical stunning and cervical dislocation (T-4) were studied in 101 commercial rabbits in an industrial abattoir. Electrical stunning accelerated the early muscular acidification, providing lower pH-45 and pH-2 h values on Longissimus dorsi and Biceps femoris and higher pH-24 h on Biceps femoris than cervical dislocation (P < 0.02). Furthermore, meat from rabbits stunned with electrical methods showed more redness (a* with mean values 1.17-130 vs. 0.66, P < 0.02), although this cannot be associated to low exsanguination levels because electrical methods tend to produce even higher bleeding percentage than mechanical stunning (P = 0.063). Haematin content in muscle, water-holding capacity and cooking losses were similar in all treatments. Shear force did not change because of the stunning methods, but the members of experienced panel found the meat coming from electrical stunning T-1 (with intermediate voltages and frequencies) tougher and less juicy than the meat obtained with other electrical applications or with cervical dislocation (P < 0.05).
