Table 5.

Interaction effects of muscle type and ultimate pH on MRA, OC, and TBARS values

Trait	LL		PM		SE

	Normal pH	High pH	Normal pH	High pH
IMF¹⁾	0.71^c	0.59^d	0.74^b	0.77^a	0.01
OC	0.56^c	0.64^a	0.63^a	0.59^b	0.01
TBARS (malondialdehhyde mg/kg)	0.33^a	0.22^b	0.31^ab	0.36^a	0.06

MRA, metmyoglobin reducing activity; OC, oxygen consumption; TBARS, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; LL, longissimus lumborum; PM, psoas major; SE, standard error; IMF, initial metmyoglobin formation.

¹⁾

IMF was used to measure MRA and for which a lower value indicates greater MRA.
