Summary

The effects of intraveinous injection of a glycoprotein solution extracted from Antarctic fish was investigated for lamb. The meat was analysed after vacuum packaging, during storage for 2 to 16 weeks at -20 deg C. These proteins may minimize changes in frozen meat during storage. Meat from treated animals is well accepted by the consumer.
