Abstract

Experimental postmortem interval estimation was assayed by various biochemical components of hens pectoral muscle. Among them, only percentage of non-protein nitrogen on total soluble protein, asparatic amino transferase activity and creatinine concentration showed significant correlation with time after death. Asparatic amino transferase was negatively correlated and non-protein nitrogen percentage and creatinine were positively correlated to postmortem interval. The stronger correlation (0.925) was found for creatinine.
