Summary

CUT MEAT, GROUND MEAT AND CURED GROUND MEAT WERE FROZEN 30 TO 60 MIN AFTER SLAUGHTERING TO TEMPERATURES RANGING BETWEEN -6 AND -70 DEG C. MEASUREMENT OF THE GLYCOLYSIS LEVEL AND OF THE RATE OF ATP BREAKDOWN IN TERMS OF FREEZING CONDITIONS. THE ADDITION OF SALT DELAYS GLYCOLYSIS, BUT ACCELERATES ATP BREAKDOWN. MEAT PROCESSING CONDITIONS AFFECT WATER RETENTION CAPACITY.
