Freezing and frozen storage of myofibril preparations with cryoprotectants.

Summary

After adding glucose-sorbitol-triphosphates or sodium glutamate or glucose-sorbitol-cellulose, the myofibrils are frozen and kept at -20 deg C for 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Protein solubility, cooking losses and texture parameters (hardness, elasticity, compactness) are measured. The freezing process reduces protein solubility. The glucose-sorbitol-triphosphate reduces myofibril gel losses during cooking, and gel cohesion.
