Meat texture and exudate were investigated using a pair of hypodermic needles curved to touch at their tips. Electrical impedance was better than fiber‐optic spectrophotometry for detecting the meat exudate released as the needles were moved apart. Separation of needles creating tension along the lengths of myofibers caused higher stress and less tip separation than needle separation perpendicularly across the myofibers.
