Summary

The cross-section spacing between the muscle fibre bundles of fresh tilapia chunks was studied according to freezing process and storage time. The integrity of muscle structure was maintained better with liquid nitrogen freezing than with airblast freezing. All the differences resulting from freezing methods or freezing rates disappeared upon prolonged frozen storage at -20 or -40 deg C. The correlations between the freezing temperature and extracellular spacing, and the activation energy were calculated.
