What is Electrical Stimulation for Meat Processing?

Electrical Stimulation for Meat Processing is the process of passing electric current at a set voltage through the carcass of sheep, lamb, beef or other cattle and enhance the quality of the meat.  If we want to know more about the process, we should understand how exactly the meat of an animal functions. Every animal has something stored in them and that ‘something’ is known as energy which is also known as glycogen. When the animal dies this glycogen slowly tarnsforms into lactic acid causing a gradual decrease in pH level which makes the meat more rigor and also stiffens the meat. Utilization of this electrical stimulation process helps in maintaining the quality of the meat. Pass electrical current through the meat, reduces the pH level to the exact figure which helps in maintain the quality of the meat. By quality, we mean keeping the meat fresh and tender.

So is electrical stimulation required for every animal in the slaughter house?

To be honest, it is recommended to go through electrical stimulation for all the meat from the lsaughter house expect few cases where we can always take the exception. What are those cases? Let’s say you have if the meat is aged at least 8 to 10 days before consumption and is placed at a temperature window of 8 – 18 degree Celsius.
