(1) 出现的原因:由于鸡只因挣扎、强烈拍翅引起肌肉过激运动,导致鸡胸深肌中血液供应被阻断或减少而导致的局部肉颜色变化。本现象一般无临床症状,常因表层胸浅肌外观无异常而不易被检出。 (2) 该现象对食品安全的影响:无食品安全影响,参见澳大利亚鸡肉联合会关于绿色鸡肉的下列声明: Statement of Australian Chicken Meat Federation 澳大利亚鸡肉联合会关于绿色鸡肉的声明 2006.07.17 The green-tinged part of a chicken breast fillet is the result of a damaged blood vessel. This condition is known as green muscle. 鸡胸肉中出现的局部绿色缘自鸡肉中血管的受损。这个现象称为绿色胸肌。 • It is NOT of any food safety concern, even if cooked and consumed. 该现象没有任何食品安全隐患,即使熟制后食用。 • It is a rare condition that at times cannot be detected during processing. It is not due to bacteria as implied in the ACA story. 这是一种很少见的现象,且屠宰加工时不会被检出。该现象非微生物原因引起。 • It happens when the blood supply to the deep muscle tissue such as the large breast muscle is interrupted or reduced because of compromised blood supply such as a damaged blood vessel. It can happen when a muscle is over exerted e.g. by strong flapping of the wings. 流向深肌组织例如大胸肌的血液因供血变差(例如血管受损)而被阻断或减少时,导致这种现象。当肌肉强烈运动例如鸡激烈拍打翅膀时,就会发生这种现象。 • Any consumer that finds green muscle in a product should take it back to the place of purchase and seek a refund or a replacement product. 消费者在鸡肉产品中发现绿色现象时,应该将产品退给经销者,获取退款或更换产品。
