Summary

No exothermic or endothermic transitions due to the crystallisation of proline were observed within the investigated concentration range suggesting that proline has the ability to stay in solution when the freezable water fraction of cod muscle is converted to ice. These findings indicate that proline may represent a promising ingredient as cryoprotective in fish products.
