Abstract: Through tracked changes of pH, color, moisture content, shear force values and MFI of duck during postmortem aging, the process of postmortem aging was analyzed comprehensively. The results showed that the pH value of duck meat was the lowest at 12 h, meanwhile, rigor mortis was the highest and meat quality was the worst. After 16 h, moisture content, shear force values and MFI changed gently, which proved it was mature. The postmortem aging cycle of duck was 16 h (environmental temperature 5-8℃).

Key words: duck meat, postmortem aging, quality
