The data from the present study found that fast freezing significantly improved the water-holding capacity of aged/frozen beef loins by minimising purge and drip loss after being thawed. The results from the current study also suggest that ageing beef loins for 3 weeks (when aged at −1.5 °C) would be a sufficient period resulting in positive impacts on meat quality attributes. Taking this together, it can be suggested that fast freezing of aged meat will minimise the amount of water-loss due to the freezing/thawing process, and subsequently will add more value to the aged/frozen meat products byimproving the appearance through less drip as well as minimising
the loss of soluble nutrients.
