| Summary: | The objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of tenderization methods on several characteristics of goat meat. A total of 6 goats (approximately 3 years of age) were used in the study. The meat was obtained from the hind leg (m. biceps femoris). Treatments were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 replicates in each treatment. The treatments were P0: control, P1: the meat was submerged in pineapple juice extract, P2: the meat was electrically stimulated, and P3: the meat was injected with CaCl2 solution. The variables measured were tenderness (mm/g/s), pH, water holding capacity (%), cooking losses (%), moisture content (%) and dissolved protein content (μg/ml). Data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Least Significant Difference compare the differences between means. The result showed that treatments significantly (P<0.01) affected the meat tenderness, pH and water holding capacity but not significantly (P>0.05) affected meat cooking losses, moisture content and dissolved protein. It can be concluded that injection CaCl2 was more effective in improving the tenderness of old goat meat. . (Animal Production 7(2): 106-110 (2005)
