Summary:[The semimembranosus muscle, removed from 21 carcasses of Chianina breed young bulls, was submitted to analysis at slaughtering day and after 1, 2 and 11 days. The considered parameters were pH, tenderness of cooked meat and myofibril fragmentation index. The results show a progressive tenderizing of meat with ageing, confirmed by a gradual increase of the myofibril fragmentation index] Il muscolo semimembranoso, prelevato da 21 carcasse di vitelli Chianini, e' stato sottoposto ad analisi il giorno della macellazione, nonche' dopo 1, 2 e 11 giorni; i parametri considerati sono stati il pH, la tenerezza della carne cotta e l'indice di frammentazione miofibrillare. I risultati mostrano un progressivo intenerimento della carne con il procedere della frollatura, confermato da un graduale aumento dell'indice di frammentazione miofibrillare
