Abstract

The 3-methyl-l-histidine levels were determined in the whole muscles from cheek, flank, round, neck and loin regions of the bovine carcass and in the corresponding myosins prepared from them. Titres were similar between the muscles in the latter three locations, but very low in cheek muscle. This finding was reflected by a very low titre for the Myosin prepared from this source.
