Abstract
Feeding of Tochu leaf to broiler was done to discover the role of myof ibrilar protein and the effects of Tochu on meat toughness. The qualit y and quantity of myofibrillar protein was the same between Tochu-fed muscle and the controls. The improvement of meat quality should be con cluded to be due to collagen as reported before and not due to the myo fibrillar proteins.
