“…Glycolysis is a multistep conversion of glucose to pyruvate catalyzed by specific enzymes. Most of these enzymes, such as glycogen phosphorylase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase, are identified as phosphoproteins and affect meat quality characteristics by regulating glycolysis cycle, protein degradation, and structure of meat (Chen et al., 2018; Huang, Larsen, et al., 2011; Wu et al., 2015; Scheffler & Gerrard, 2007; Li et al., 2012). As the core metabolic pathway in postmortem muscle, glycolysis is highly relevant to ultimate meat quality (Dalrymple & Hamm, 1975; Lomiwes, Farouk, Wu, & Young, 2014).…”
