Summary

Generally, measurements of collagen fluorescence in beef are inversely proportional to temperature, between -5 and 40 deg C. The anomaly detected is an increase in fluorescence for temperatures rising from 0 to 5 deg C. This phenomenon seems to be due to a change in optical diffraction, caused by melting of ice crystals in the tissues.
