The 20-min postmortem pH, glycogen and lactate content of pectoralis major muscles.

Composition	Non-WB	WB	p-Value
pH20	6.86 ± 0.04	6.71 ± 0.03	0.012
Glycogen (mg/g muscle)	2.41 ± 0.40	1.90 ± 0.39	0.332
Lactate (mg/g muscle)	2.55 ± 0.14	2.81 ± 0.21	0.217

The data are presented as mean ± standard error. non-WB = non-wooden breast (n = 7) and WB = wooden breast (n = 5).
