Summary

TOUGHNESS, AS MEASURED BY KRAMER SHEAR PRESS, INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AS A RESULT OF FREEZING. BETWEEN 6 AND 16 WEEKS, TOUGHNESS INCREASED IN SEASONED CONVENTIONALLY FROZEN SAMPLES BUT REMAINED THE SAME IN ALL OTHER TREATMENTS. IN ALL TREATMENTS, TOUGHNESS DECLINED AFTER 16 WEEKS OF FROZEN STORAGE. INDIVIDUALLY QUICK FROZEN (IQF) SAMPLES WERE MORE TENDER THAN CONVENTIONALLY FROZEN SAMPLES. SEASONED CRAYFISH HAD THE GREATEST DEGREE OF TOUGHNESS. EXTRACTABLE PROTEIN DECREASED DURING FROZEN STORAGE, WITH IQF SAMPLES SHOWING THE SMALLEST CHANGES.
