Summary

REINDEER MEAT WAS COOKED IN WATER OR IN A 2% SODIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION, FROZEN AT 228 K (-45 DEG C) OR IN LIQUID NITROGEN, FREEZE-DRIED AND PACKED UNDER NITROGEN ATMOSPHERE OR VACUUM. REHYDRATION, THE TBA NUMBER AND THE SENSORY PROPERTIES WERE STUDIED 1, 8 AND 25 WEEKS OF STORAGE. THE REHYDRATION OF THE QUICK-FROZEN SAMPLES WERE BETTER THAN THOSE OF THE SLOW-FROZEN SAMPLES. IT WAS SLIGHTLY AFFECTED BY COOKING WITH SODIUM CHLORIDE OR THE PACKAGING USED. A SLIGHT DECREASE IN TBA NUMBERS DURING STORAGE WAS FOUND. THE APPEARANCE OF QUICK-FROZEN SAMPLES REMAINED ALMOST CONSTANT DURING STORAGE AND WAS EVALUATED AS BEING LOWER FOR THE SLOW-FROZEN SAMPLES. THE ODOUR AND TASTE OF THE SAMPLES COOKED WITH SODIUM CHLORIDE AND PACKED UNDER VACUUM WERE RATED HIGHEST AFTER 8 AND 25 WEEKS.
