Crystallization Behavior and Quality of Frozen Meat

Abstract: Preservation of meat through freezing entails the use of low temperatures to extend a product’s shelf-life, mainly by reducing the rate of microbial spoilage and deterioration reactions. Characteristics of meat that are important to be preserve include tenderness, water holding capacity, color, and flavor. In general, freezing improves meat tenderness, but negatively impacts other quality attributes. The extent to which these attributes are affected depends on the ice crystalline size and distribution, which i… Show more

“…On the other hand, when the meats were stored at −18 °C for 5 d, the dripping loss rate of chicken breast meat reached the maximum in this study. These results might be due to the influence of sharp ice crystals formed during freezing on the structure of muscle fibers, which caused certain damage and reduced its water holding capacity [24] . The drip loss rate of chicken breast meat stored at − 18 °C for 5 d was higher than that of all meats stored at 4 °C.…”

“…Meat moisture can be determined in numerous ways, including cooking loss, thaw loss, WHC and total moisture content. Loss of meat moisture is unavoidable post-mortem due to a decline in pH (Dang et al, 2021 ). Cooking loss refers to the reduction in weight of meat during the cooking process (Pang et al, 2020 ).…”

“…To overcome this problem, the use of antioxidants is one of the main strategies to prevent the oxidation of proteins and lipids and, consequently, to extend the shelf-life of camel ( Djenane et al 2004 , 2016 ). Nowadays, frozen storage of meat is broadly utilized to extend its shelf-life over one year ( Dang et al 2021 ) . In addition, most of the previous studies do not take into consideration the impact of freezing storage on nutrient amounts variation in camel meat.…”
