Hx, hypoxanthine; IMP, inosine monophosphate; HxR, inosine; AMP, adenosine monophosphate; ADP, adenosine diphosphate; ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
F, frozen leg meat; Raw, raw leg meat; M, leg meat with microwave treatment.
All values are mean±SD (n=3) and no significant difference within groups.
No significant difference within storage period.
Means with different superscripts (a-c) within groups are significantly different (p<0.05) by Tukey’s test.
Means with different superscripts (A-C) within storage period are significantly different (p<0.05) by Tukey’s test.
ND, not detected.
