Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of various high pressure freezing and thawing treatments on the physical properties of pork. To compare the effects of the freezing and thawing process on meat quality, atmospheric freezing followed by running water thawing (AFRT), pressure shift freezing followed by running water thawing (SFRT), and pressure shift freezing and pressure assisted thawing (SFAT) were conducted at pressure of 250 MPa and cooling temperature of $-22^{\circ}C$. SAFT and SFRT showed a shorter phase transition time and total thawing time than AFRT. The pH value of treated samples increased significantly (p<0.05) compared to unfrozen meat. In addition, SFAT and SFRT showed a higher pHvalue than AFRT. Although the water holding capacity was significantly decreased (p<0.05) for SFAT and SFRT, SFRT reduced drip loss. In regards to color, SFAT and SFRT resulted in a significant increase in color parameters (p<0.05) relative to AFRT, while SFAT produced a higher L*-value. High pressure treatment significantly increased shear force (p<0.05) compared to AFRT, and, where SFRT showed the highest shear force. Therefore, these combined results indicated that the hydrostatic pressure treatment improved the functional properties of pork and increased the freezing and thawing rate.
