The activity of GDE, the activity of phosphorylase, total glucose content, lactate content and pH were measured from meat samples taken 35 min post-mortem and ultimate pH 24 or 48 h post-mortem. Both GDE and phosphorylase are needed for the complete degradation of glycogen. In porcine muscles the activities of these gl...
