Improved tenderization of meat is achieved by using, individually or in combination, (1) a capacitor discharge chamber of shortened height; (2) a drum-head on which the meat sits during treatment and which is located at the upper end of the capacitor discharge chamber; (3) meat supporting structure which substantially holds the meat in place on the drum-head during capacitor discharge; (4) an indexing carousel for delivery the meat to a location above the capacitor discharge chamber and for transporting the treated meat to a discharge location; (5) an improved negative compression or rarefaction wave; and (6) the combination of shock wave treatment with other operations. |
