Summary

MICROWAVE DEFROSTING OF FROZEN BREASTS RESULTED IN A SLIGHTLY MORE TENDER PRODUCT THAN REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING ; THIGH PARTS WERE SLIGHTLY LESS TENDER AFTER MICROWAVE DEFROSTING. AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE LOSS WAS SEEN WITH MICROWAVE DEFROSTED BREASTS (67.9%), WHILE MOISTURE LOSS FOR EITHER REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTED OR MICROWAVE DEFROSTED THIGHS WAS NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. METHOD OF FREEZING SHOWED NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT.
