Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>A histological study of pieces of meat frozen under controlled conditions which simulate the operation of industrial freezers, showed differences in the ice morphology according to the registered thermal histories.</jats:p> <jats:p>The diameter of the intracellular dendrites and extracellular ice crystals has been expressed mathematically in terms of a characteristic freezing time, while the percentage of the tissue water that was frozen and the variation of the ice-fibre interfacial area have been measured from the micrographs of transverse sections of frozen beef.</jats:p>
