This study was designed to investigate the effects of Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions injection on post mortem tenderness and caspase activation by examining the expression of caspase-3 and cytochrome c in post mortem beef skeletal muscles treated with Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺. Results showed that Ca²⁺ ions injection accelerated post mortem tenderization of beef skeletal muscles, whereas Zn²⁺ retarded the process. In the Ca²⁺-injected samples, the level of caspase-3 precursor decreased significantly (P<0.05) without the production of activated caspase-3, whereas the level of cytochrome c was increased significantly (P<0.05). So, Ca²⁺ possibly promoted caspases activation upstream of cytochrome c release, but inactivated caspase activity by calpain and/or fast depletion of ATP; Whereas Zn²⁺ blocked the activation of procaspase-3 with no visible change in the level of cytochrome c (P>0.05), and the block possibly resulted from its direct inhibition on caspase-3 enzyme..
