The food industry has been increasingly requested by consumers
to guarantee both high-quality products as well as safety during
thermal processing. The factors that determine the quality of
cooked protein-based foods such as meat and fish are their texture,
water holding capacity , the flavor, color, and taste. To obtain highquality
products, it is necessary to appropriately control the thermal
process so that these factors are optimized.Moreover, suitable
models, such as kinetic models, are required to predict and describe
the changes in these factors that occur during heat transfer
Several studies have performed kinetic analysis of the changes
that occur in protein-based foods during thermal processing. Such
studies have evaluated the changes in the texture of meat during
heating
