Re: White meat



 The dark color of highly aerobic muscle has to do
primarily with the amount of myoglobin present:

Oops. I should have thought of the myoglobin...

Cytochrome C has a slightly pink color in fresh meat,
but this color is lost as the meat is cooked.

I guess it changes to brown (in myoglobin as well -- both contain heme) as the iron turns to, erm, rust. Right?
