Percent of denatured salt soluble protein extracted from the four lesion types (liquid, paste, solid, and vacuolated thermal) produced in bovine cardiac muscle (a) and bovine liver (b) relatively to control samples (n = 3–6). Pieces of tissue emulsified in a conventional blender were used as controls. “*” denotes significant difference from liquid lesion at the significance level of p < 0.01. “+” denotes significant difference from the paste lesion at the significance level of p < 0.01. Percent of soluble protein was used as a quantitative measure of the thermal effect since the solubility is lost with thermal denaturation.
