Elproblema es especialmente importante si se considera queuna de cada cuatro degustaciones de la carne resultan insatisfactoriaspara el consumidor. Este trabajo abordó los principalesaspectos asociados con la suavidad de la carne tales comola estructura y composición de la carne, el fenómeno dela contracción muscular, los cambios bioquímicos post mortemcomo el rigor mortis y la maduración, y el efecto generaldebido a las operaciones del procesamiento industrial comola cocción y el congelamiento. Métodos generales para elmejoramiento de la suavidad son discutidos, así como la actividadbioquímica e importancia de las enzimas CALPAINAS(calcium ion dependent papain like cisteine proteases).Universidad de Costa Rica2004-08-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionContributionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/agromeso/article/view/1191810.15517/am.v15i2.11918Agronomía Mesoamericana; 2004: Agronomía Mesoamericana: Vol. 15, Issue 2 (July-December); 225-243 Agronomía Mesoamericana; 2004: Agronomía Mesoamericana: Vol 15, Nº 2 (Julio-diciembre); 225-243Agronomía Mesoamericana; 2004: Agronomía Mesoamericana: Vol 15, Nº 2 (Julio-diciembre); 225-2432215-36081021-7444reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/agromeso/article/view/11918/11224acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-06-16T13:55:19Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/11918Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:28:42.936Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
