Abstract:This study investigates the impact of freeze–thaw cycles on samples of Sardinella aurita, focusing on the examination of physicochemical properties, water–holding capacity, color changes, and histological alterations in fish meat. The present findings indicate significant variations in the studied parameters, i.e., pH, water activity, lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), protein solubility (mg·g-1), moisture content (%), thawing loss (%), centrifugation loss (%), cooking loss (%), underscoring the i… Show more
