Summary

The muscles were cut, vacuum-packaged, and frozen at -20 or -30 deg C, or else kept at room temperature. After one month the meats were defrosted at -2 deg C. The losses due to exudation were measured, as was the colour, the formation of metmyoglobin, and the fragmentation of myofibrils. The quality of sausages prepared from frozen and thawed meat was also evaluated.
