  • Metmyoglobin is the cause of the characteristic brown colouration of meat that occurs as it ages. (wikipedia.org)
  • In meat, which is dead muscle, the normal processes of removing metmyoglobin are prevented from effecting this repair, or alternatively the rate of metmyoglobin formation exceeds their capacity, so that there is a net accumulation of metmyoglobin as the meat ages. (wikipedia.org)
