TLDR
Ulastructural examination revealed shrinking and depolymerisation of myofilaments and Z-lines disorganisation within the sarcomere in PSE meat, indicating that the process may initiate at the filaments, because of protein denaturation, and spread through Z- lines, resulting in the collapse of the Sarcomere structure.

White striping and woody breast myopathies in the modern poultry industry: a review

TL;DR: There is a need for future studies to identify markers for WS and WB in live birds and genetic, nutritional, and/or management strategies to alleviate the condition.

How can heat stress affect chicken meat quality? - a review

TL;DR: The scientific evidence about how heat stress affects the quality of chicken meat through the acid/base status, oxidative reactions, and changes in hormonal secretions is discussed.

Effect of ultimate pH and freezing on the biochemical properties of proteins in turkey breast meat

TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical and functional properties of proteins from turkey breast meat with different ultimate pH at 24-hour post-mortem (pH24) in fresh and frozen conditions have been studied.

Use of High-Intensity Ultrasound to Improve Functional Properties of Batter Suspensions Prepared from PSE-like Chicken Breast Meat

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of high-intensity ultrasound on the functional and rheological properties, particle size distribution, microstructure, and protein secondary structures of normal and PSE-like chicken breast meat batter suspensions were investigated.

Underlying connections between the redox system imbalance, protein oxidation and impaired quality traits in pale, soft and exudative (PSE) poultry meat.

TL;DR: PSE was more susceptible to proteolysis and protein oxidation than normal meat during succeeding chilled storage with more intense tryptophan and thiols depletion, higher protein carbonylation and more intense formation of protein cross-links.

Reference methods for the assessment of physical characteristics of meat.

Karl O. Honikel
- 01 Aug 1998 - 
TL;DR: A group of scientists with many years of experience in the field of meat quality assessment convened in February 1993 for the first time and subsequently in 1994 and 1995, in Kulmbach at the German Federal Centre for Meat Research to develop internationally accepted reference methods.

Biochemistry Of Meat Hydration

TL;DR: The influence of pH on the WHC of meat has been studied because in this way the importance of protein charges to the hydration of muscle proteins is recognized and information of practical importance is given.

Contribution of postmortem muscle biochemistry to the delivery of consistent meat quality with particular focus on the calpain system

TL;DR: Research efforts in this area should focus on elucidation of regulation of μ-calpain activity in postmortem muscle to develop reliable methods to predict meat tenderness and on the meat industry to produce a consistently tender product.

Relationship of myofibril fragmentation index to certain chemical, physical and sensory characteristics of bovine longissimus muscle

TL;DR: In this article, a study showed that myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) accounted for more than 50% of the variation in loin steak tenderness and was a more important effector of tenderness in Loin steaks than collagen solubility or sarcomere length.

Characteristics of Pale, Soft, Exudative Broiler Breast Meat

TL;DR: Pale breast meat appears to be the main determinant of its low water-holding capacity (WHC), and because the pale breast muscle has a low WHC, it can be considered PSE.
