The Dsc method can be used to obtain the freezing point, heat endothermic t. Fig. 3 shows a typical curve of the tilapia fish burger illustrating the peak and onset points. The onset of melting was considered as the freez ing point (Bai et al., 2001) Tr and AH of tilapia fish burger was (-2.8 t 0.4) C and (136.4 t 16.6) Jlg, respectively. Tr was not significantly different from the Tr (-2.7t0.1 °C) obtained by the cooling curve method using household freezer. This result validated that both methods can be used to determine freezing points of high moisture foods, such as fish burger. Apparent specific heat (cpapp) between temperature range -20 to 0 °C, where phase change happened, increased rapidly from o to 30 Jlg oc. Matuda et al. (2011) found that Cpapp of bread dough increased sharply from 2 to 15 Jlg C between the temperature range from -20 to 0 oC. Chen and Pan (1995) found similar values for the Tr of tilapia (Oneochromis sp.) meat with 80.3% moisture using the two meth- ods, ranging from -1.03 c (Dsc method) to -0.86 curve). To the extent of our knowledge, no previous studies
