Treating carpaccio at − 35 °C has a lower impact on meat quality (higher instrumental and sensory tenderness, lower L*, and better appearance scores) compared with − 15 °C. Results indicate that treatment by HHP in combination with low freezing temperature (− 35 °C) can be used successfully to deliver long-lasting and high quality pork carpaccio to the minimally processed ready-to-eat market. However, implementation of HHP treatment conditions that are able to maintain low freezing sample temperatures during processing needs to be developed for meat processors in commercial conditions.
