Depending on long thawing time, the most weight loss was observed in the samples thawed in the refrigerator
and the samples thawed at room temperature came after. The weight loss in the samples increased depending upon
water loss, and the values of humidity and water activity decreased depending upon water loss. When Table 3 is
examined, it is seen that the samples which were thawed using ohmic heating system possess the highest aw value
after thawing during storage period. Besides, when the loss of vitamins and proteins dissolving in water are
considered in conjunction with water loss, importance of the thawing method to carry out on frozen nutrients would
further increase.
