EFFECT OF RATES OF FREEZING AND THAWING ON THE QUALITY OF PRERIGOR FROZEN BEEF.

Summary

THE INFLUENCE OF FREEZING AND THAWING RATES ON THE QUALITY OF ELECTROSTIMULATED AND NON-TREATED MEAT (LONGISSIMUS DORSI) WAS STUDIED (PH VALUE, DRIP, WATER-ABSORPTION CAPACITY, SHEAR VALUE). THE BEST QUALITY WAS OBSERVED IN NON-STIMULATED MEAT FROZEN AT A RATE OF 2.5 CM/H AND IN ELECTROSTIMULATED MEAT FROZEN AT A RATE OF 1.8 CM/H. THE THAWING RATE IS LESS SIGNIFICANT THAN THE FREEZING RATE. ELECTRICAL STIMULATION MAKES MEAT MORE SENSITIVE TO CHANGES IN FREEZING AND THAWING TEMPERATURES.
