This study aimed to investigate the effect of combined ultrasound and low-temperature short-time heating (ULTSTH) (40 kHz, 0.2 W/cm at 55 °C for 15 min) as pretreatment on proteases inactivation and textural quality of yellow-feathered chicken (YFC). Results showed ultrasound and low-temperature heating synergistically improved the inactivation of the most important meat proteases, calpain, cathepsin B and total proteases, with kinetics following the first order decay(s).
