3.2. Effect of freezing rate and its interaction with storage
time on the functional attributes of thawed beef
Consistent with the first experiment, using the m.
semitendinosus, this second experiment could not
demonstrate any effect of freezing rate alone on any
measured attributes of m. semimembranosus (data not
shown). The data indicated, however, that the interaction
between freezing rate and storage time affected the thaw
drip loss (Fig. 1a; P
