SUMMARY— Techniques are described for the electron microscopic evaluation of a meat emulsion. Fat globules as small as 0.1 μ in diameter were observed to have distinct protein membranes. The continuous phase of the emulsion was fibrous, but homogeneous. After thermal processing the globule membranes were highly disrupted and the protein of the continuous phase was coagulated into dense, irregular zones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
