Summary

A classic Brazilian export line, commercial frozen raw and cooked diced beef, cut into cubes measuring approximately 22 x 22 x 24 mm and stored at -20 °C, was freeze-dried at 25 °C plate temperature. The rehydration procedure involved two main variables: distilled water at room temperature and at 80 °C, for 30 min. Samples were sectioned to approximately 5 mm and examined without staining at x 200 magnification. Microscopic evaluation showed that samples rehydrated in distilled water at 80 °C had fibers smaller in diameter than samples rehydrated at room temperature.
