Every woman knows that chilled meat is considered the most useful and nutritious meat, it is in it that all the useful elements necessary for our body are stored. But chilled meat is not available to everyone, because it costs an order of magnitude more expensive than frozen.
Of course, everyone knows that frozen meat is much better preserved, various pathogenic microbes do not spread in it. Chilled meat is stored for no more than a day, unless, of course, it is vacuum packed; after a while, various bacteria begin to multiply in the meat and the product becomes unusable.
Naturally, the easiest way to keep meat fresh is to freeze it. When frozen, the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms does not occur, so the meat can be stored for a rather long time. Meat is an excellent supplier of protein, but when frozen, the intercellular fluid in the meat turns into ice and begins to destroy the connective tissue, which contains the protein.
The liquid contained in the meat, during the defrosting process, flows out of it along with all the nutrients, therefore, the meat becomes drier and less useful. The less protein is destroyed during the freezing process, the more useful and nutritious the meat is. Based on this, one can already guess that it is impossible to freeze and thaw meat several times, so you can only achieve a deterioration in the quality of the product. Re-freezing reduces the protein content of the meat product by about half, and in some cases can completely destroy it.
Usually meat is frozen after being at room temperature for some time, and sometimes it also interacts with the environment. Naturally, some types of bacteria or microbes have time to settle and multiply on the meat. When a meat product is frozen, pathogenic microorganisms do not die, but fall asleep, as it were. During defrosting, they wake up and begin to multiply very actively, repeated defrosting will lead to the fact that microorganisms will multiply twice as fast
If by chance it was necessary to freeze the meat again, then it must be used in a short time, careful heat treatment is strictly necessary.
