Congelamento e descongelamento – sua influência sobre os alimentos by Luciane Maria Colla, Carlos Prentice-Hernández

“…In conditions of slow freezing, the formed crystals are larger and in smaller amount, causing the rupture of the cells, the cellular offense due to the increase of the osmotic pressure and the irreversible precipitation of colloidal elements of the cell by denaturation. This fact brings, in consequence, strong drip in the thawing and loss of nutritious elements, mainly in the cellular medium. …”
