DUE TO RELIGIOUS REGULATIONS, THE BEEF IMPORTED INTO ISRAEL IS FROZEN SOON AFTER BONING. IN A SEARCH FOR A METHOD FOR OPTIMAL AGING AFTER THAWING, 8 DIFFERENT AGING EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED, FROM 0-12 DAYS. COOKING LOSS AND MYOFIBRIL FRAGMENTATION INDEX WERE FOUND TO BE MORE AFFECTED BY THE FREEZING PRECEDING AGING. SENSORY EVALUATION OF TENDERNESS INDICATED A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN MEAT TENDERNESS AFTER 1 DAYOF AGING AND FURTHER GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT UP TO 7 DAYS.
