abstract = "In order to evaluate the effect of raw meat's freezing/thawing
process on meat products produced from them, frankfurter's quality was monitored.
Fresh beef meat was grounded and separated into two lots – the first lot was
immediately used in the preparation of frankfurters (G1F), and the other lot was
frozen and stored at -18°C for 4 weeks, when it was used in the preparation of the
second group of frankfurters (G2F). Physicochemical and technological properties
were investigated on fresh (CG-FM) and thawed meat (G-F/TM) samples and the
frankfurters made from these samples. Frozen storage significantly affected
(p<0.05) moisture, TBA value, instrumental color parameters (L*a*b*), WHC,
total pigment, and total heme pigment in the raw meat samples; some frankfurters
characteristics, such as moisture, L*(lightness), a* (redness) and b* (yellowness)
were affected (p<0.05). However, the differences in the final products' process
loss/cooking loss/frying loss and FRP were not significant. The sensory evaluation
did not show any significance between the two groups of frankfurters It can be
concluded that the frozen storage of minced beef meat for 4 weeks at -18°C and the
consequential thawing process (at 4°C for 24h) does not significantly affect the
overall acceptability of frankfurters prepared from them. However, effects on the
marked changes in instrumental color are apparent.",
