Muscle extracts were analyzed for the profiles of both lipids, by mass spectrometry (<em>via</em> direct flow-injection), and metabolites, by nuclear magnetic resonance, with downstream multivariate data analysis. As major results, pairwise comparisons identified C12:0 and C14:0 acylcarnitines as potential biomarkers of the intermediate pHu-muscle, which are related to lipid catabolism for alternative energy metabolism and indicate less protein breakage postmortem. Interestingly, the concentration of arginine at early postmortem aging (3-d) may influence the previously reported improved tenderness in normal and high pHu-muscles. Moreover, upregulation of fumarate, formate, and acetate with increased pHu muscle at 21-d aging indicate more intense tricarboxylic acid cycle, amino acid degradation, and pyruvate oxidation by reactive oxygen species, respectively. These three compounds (fumarate, formate, and acetate) discriminated statistically the muscle with high pHu at 21-d aging. The normal pHu-muscle showed higher concentrations of glycogenolysis and glycolysis metabolites, including glucose, mannose, and pyruvate.
