The effects of freezing rates and subsequent storage temperatures on the functional properties of meat were assessed. In the first trial, 24 Semitendinosus muscles were allocated to four freezing treatments to determine the effect of freezing rate alone (no frozen storage) on the functional properties of thawed muscle proteins. In the second trial, the effect of freezing rate, storage temperature and time were determined: 24 semimembranosus muscles were assigned to 30 treatment combinations using an incomplete factorial design with two freezing rates x three storage temperatures x five storage times. All samples individually sealed in water impermeable bags were thawed in water at 10 degreesC and then analysed. The rate of freezing alone in both trials and for both muscles had no effect on protein solubility; sulphydryl content, surface hydrophobicity; emulsion activity index or meat colour. Slowly frozen semimembranosus had more drip than fast frozen muscles. Semimembranosus muscle sarcoplasmic protein solubility increased and myofibrillar protein solubility decreased with storage temperature below -18 degreesC. Storage temperature did not affect the other attributes measured. Functional properties were mainly affected by storage time and the interaction between storage time and freezing rate. It is concluded that the current practice of blast freezing and storage at -18 to 20 degreesC is sufficient to maintain the quality of manufacturing beef. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
