Effects of pre-slaughter transport stress on the functional properties of pork protein during postmortem aging, (A) protein solubility, (B) DSC thermogram, and (C) maximum denaturation temperature (Tmax). Different letters (A-C) indicate a significant difference among aging time points at the same treatment (p < 0.05); Different letters (a, b) indicate a significant difference between two treatments at the same aging time (p < 0.05). TR: three-hour transport followed by three-hour resting treatment; T: three-hour transport treatment.
