Table 2.

Total sulfhydryl content, MFI (myofibril fragmentation index), and sarcomere length of Longissimus lumborum muscles during postmortem storage.

	Total Sulfhydryl Content (%)	MFI	Sarcomere Length (μm)
0 h	100.00 ± 5.136 a	52.233 ± 0.463 a	1.278 ± 0.013 a
6 h	80.058 ± 2.362 b	56.333 ± 0.689 b	1.164 ± 0.020 b
24 h	67.928 ± 5.136 c	61.000 ± 0.253 c	1.054 ± 0.035 c

Different letters (^a–c) in the same column indicate significant differences at different postmortem storage times (p < 0.05). The data were expressed as the mean ± SD.
