Description Meat
Histology and transmission electron microscopy studies were carried out on buffalo muscles that were subjected to
repeated freeze-thaw cycles at -10 and -18
°
C. In the first freeze thaw cycle (-10
°
C) structures of muscle showed slight change and
closely resembled to those of normal muscle.
There were frequent gaps in the half way across the fibres and some cracks in indi
vidual
fibre were also noticed in second freeze thaw cycle. In the muscle frozen at -18
°
C, more pronounced shrinkage with extensive damage
of fibres with tearing was observed. The interfibrillar gaps were
wider, shrinkage and tearing of the fibres were more distinct
after
second freeze-thaw cycle. After the second cy
cle, the interior portion showed large s
cale degradation of th
e ultrastructure. Ou
r studies of
buffalo muscle showed that under the proper
condition, little structural damage takes
place in the meat histology and ultrastru
cture under
repeated freeze-thaw conditions. This study a
dds continued weight to the evidence that
limited freeze-thaw cycles will not dete
riorate
the quality of meat.
