Abstract

Pressure treatment of turkey and pork meat leads to significant alterations in the microstructure. SEM showed that high pressure induces different changes due to denaturing mechanisms. Micrographs of turkey and pork meat depicted denaturative modifications of actin/myosin complexes in the myofibrills and of sarcoplasmic proteins.
