SUMMARY– The epimysial connective tissue from normal and PSE (pale, soft and exudative) porcine muscle was chemically characterized. Samples from PSE muscles exhibited markedly lower turbidity values (P 〈 0.01) than those from normal muscles. No significant differences were found in ultimate pH values. The epimysium from PSE muscles contained significantly higher (P 〈 0.05) quantities of salt soluble tropocollagen and a greater amount of heat labile collagen (P 〈 0.01) than that from normal tissues. No significant differences in α- and β-subunit composition, plasma hydroxy-proline levels or amino acid composition were evident between the two sources of epimysial connective tissues.
