High activity at slaughter is known to cause changes to the muscle biochemistry in terms of Ž . muscle pH and adenosine triphosphate ATP content. This experiment looked at how the muscle activity may affect the flesh quality of fish. Electro-stimulation of a carcass immediately after death can be used as a model for high levels of muscle activity prior to death. This experiment Ž . showed that ...

However, from being merely used for food, plants are now been widely explored for their therapeutic value.
