Summary

SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM) STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT ON BOVINE SEMITENDINOSUS SAMPLES THAT WERE SUBJECTED BOTH TO LONG-TERM FROZEN STORAGE AND TO REPEATED FREEZE-THAW CYCLES. SAMPLES FROZEN AT 255 K (-18 DEG C) AND STORED UP TO 26 -WK SHOWED ESSENTIALLY NO CHANGE IN MUSCLE ULTRASTRUCTURE. SAMPLES FROZEN AT LIQUID NITROGEN TEMPERATURE AND STORED AT 275-276 K (2-3 DEG C) DID SHOW ICE CRYSTAL DAMAGE WITHIN THE MUSCLE FIBER. REPEATED FREEZE-THAW PRODUCED ESSENTIALLY NO CHANGE IN MUSCLE ULTRASTRUCTURE.
