Red spring turned whiteish when sprayed with fresh water?

[papalorge]

Does anyone know why this happens? Lactic acid?

Thanks

I try to never get fresh water on the meat. I think it affects the flavour. I just keep my knife clean while filleting and straight into the vacuum bag. Also avoid getting slime on the meat. as for your question, i havent seen that happen.

we’re you spraying it really hard? like with a spray nozzle?
