TLDR
In this article, the possible relationship of changes in width, length and in birefringence brought about by heating to loss of moisture, water-holding properties, loss of acidic groups, and changes in tenderness are discussed.
Abstract
SUMMARY– Photomicrographs were made of muscle fiber fragments as the stage of the microscope was heated from room temperature to 80°C, or as fibers were held at 37, 45, 53, 61, 69, or 77°C on the heated stage for an hour. The possible relationship of changes in width, length and in birefringence brought about by heating to loss of moisture, water-holding properties, loss of acidic groups, and changes in tenderness are discussed. Changes in width appeared to be related to changes in water-holding capacity. Changes in length and loss of birefringence were related to loss of acidic groups, to coagulation of proteins, to volume change in cooked meat, and to changes in tenderness.

Effects of heat on meat proteins – Implications on structure and quality of meat products

Eva Tornberg
- 01 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: The structural changes on cooking in whole meat and comminuted meat products, and the alterations in water-holding and texture of the meat product that it leads to, are discussed.

A theoretical approach of the relationships between collagen content, collagen cross-links and meat tenderness.

TL;DR: The decisive role of rubber-like properties of connective tissues in meat tenderness variations is demonstrated, i.e. pressure and elastic modulus follows most of the variations of meat toughness.

The cooking of single myofibres, small myofibre bundles and muscle strips from beef M. psoas and M. sternomandibularis muscles at varying heating rates and temperatures.

TL;DR: When single myofibres are heated in an aqueous medium up to temperatures of 90°C at pH 5·5, they do n ot shorten but instead decrease in diameter, which leads to a volume decrease and a loss of about 68% of the cell water.

Effects of animal age, marbling score, calpastatin activity, subprimal cut, calcium injection, and degree of doneness on the palatability of steaks from limousin steers.

TL;DR: Shear force was lowest between "medium rare" and "medium" and increased toward both ends of the degree of doneness scale for round and sirloin steaks; however, shear force increased linearly with degree ofDoneness in strip loin steaks (P < .05).

The Effect of Heating Time and Temperature on the Shear of Beef Semitendinosus Muscle a

TL;DR: Relatively large differences, attributed to undefined biological differences, were noted in the shear versus heating time patterns for semitendinosus muscle cylinders from different animals.

The dissociation of myosin by heat coagulation.

TL;DR: When myosin solutions were coagulated at 53°, pH 6.2, 8–18% of the protein remained in solution, and the adenylic deaminase activity of P was 3–4 times greater than that of myOSin while that of D was low.

The Histology of Pre-Rigor and Post-Rigor Ox Muscle Before and After Cooking and Its Relation to Tenderness

TL;DR: It was concluded that, provided the effects of gross connective tissue are small, tenderness in beef muscle is produced by disruption of the actin filaments and by a breaking down of the linkages between theActin and myosin Filaments in the sarcomeres.

Heat Induced Changes of Moisture in Turkey Muscles

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of end point temperature in unheated (10°C) muscle and muscle heated (dry heat, 176°C), to 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65°C on moisture measured by selected methods, Warner-Bratzler shear values, and pH values of breasts and thigh-legs from tom turkeys were investigated.
