A similar observation of a decrease in T2 of the main compartment was also observed in onion tissues following freeze−thaw (−18 °C), thermal processing (60, 70, and 90 °C), and/or high-pressure processing of onions at 200 MPa with an initial temperature of 20 °C.
These findings indicate an increased interaction of the water between different
compartments due to loss of cell integrity as a result of cell membrane damage
