Q: What causes the shiny, rainbow appearance on some cured meats?

A: A natural phenomenon in cured meat (and some fresh meat) is the
occurrence of iridescence or a rainbow appearance on the cut lean
surface. Technically, this is referred to as birefringence. It is
caused by the reflectance of light off of muscle proteins, and it
is analogous to the color distribution produced by a prism. Muscle
proteins are arranged in strands called myofilaments, which are bound
together to form myofibrils. Myofibrils are bound together to form
muscle fibers, which form together to form muscle bundles and finally
whole muscles. When the myofilaments are cut at the appropriate angle,
exposing a cross section of the myofilaments, the reflectance of
light off the proteins produces the characteristic appearance
associated with iridescence.
