That the radiolysis of meats containing similar proteins and comparable fatty acids involves similar primary and secondary processes leading to a common set of radicals stable at -40°C is shown by the ESR spectra in Figure 12 for irradiated, enzyme-inactivated chicken, beef, ham, and pork [3, 62], These spectra reflect the commonality in radicals derived from the muscle proteins, myosin and actin, and fi-om the constituent triglycerides, which have slightly different fatty acid compositions. The minor consequences of this compositional...

Proteins.— Without entering the subject in detail, it may be recalled that proteins are polypetide chains formed by a number of amino-acids ranging from 51 for bovine insulin to about 6000 for myosin. In each protein there are several chemically-different polar sides the backbone groups of the polypetide chains, and IHNH, and the sidechain groups of the amino-acid radicals,...
