Effects of age on postmortem redox states were investigated in yak muscles. Extended postmortem time reduced the muscle antioxidant capacity and induced oxidation in lipids, myoglobin, and proteins. Compared with older yaks, muscles of younger ones could delay this oxidation process due to lower initial myoglobin content of 30.7%, lipid peroxidation of 42.4%, H₂O₂ of 41.2%, and intramuscular fat of 65.6% (of 3.66 times higher PUFAs). They also possessed greater antioxidase content/activity, such as phospholipase A2 content of 30.7% and glutathione reductase activity of 50.6%. Muscles exhibited age-specific overall antioxidative characteristics during 72 h postmortem and gradually formed overall oxidative ones after 72 h postmortem with an initial similarity between 2- and 4-year (or 6- and 12-year) on canonical discriminant analyses. The formation of age-specific overall oxidative characteristics can be attributable to the antioxidative specificity of age on canonical correlation analyses. Age-specific redox characteristics required differentiated preference in meat processing and preservation.
