Journal ArticleDOI
Viscoelastic properties of collagen: synchrotron radiation investigations and structural model
R. Puxkandl,I Zizak,Oskar Paris,Jozef Keckes,W. Tesch,Sigrid Bernstorff,Peter P. Purslow,Peter Fratzl +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple structural model was proposed to describe the tendon at a hierarchical level, where fibrils and interfibrillar matrix act as coupled viscoelastic systems, and all qualitative features of the strain-rate dependence of both normal and crosslink-deficient collagen can be reproduced within this model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A structural approach to understanding the interactions between colour, water-holding capacity and tenderness.
TL;DR: Cause of variation in the quality traits of raw meat do not generally correspond to variations in cooked meat and the differences observed between the raw muscle and cooked or further processed meat are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intramuscular connective tissue and its role in meat quality.
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that definition of muscle fascicle size and shape by the bounding perimysium is related to the need for sub-sections of the whole muscle to slip past each other in the normal contractile function of the tissue.

Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of ageing on the water-holding capacity of pork: role of cytoskeletal proteins.
TL;DR: Observations are consistent with the hypothesis that degradation of the cytoskeleton slowly removes the linkage between lateral shrinkage of myofibrils and shrinkages of entire muscle fibres, so removing the force that causes flow into the extracellular space.
