Drip loss

Drip loss is the leakage of myofibers and loss of iron, protein, and water during the transition of muscle to meat.[3] Drip loss impacts the quality and palatability of meat, and has been an issue for pork and chicken.[3] Drip loss is in part governed by the water holding capacity of meat.[4]
