Freezing Slow freezing is undesirable as it makes for
greater breakdown of muscle cells and subsequent greater juice losses when meat is thawed. Freeze at temperatures as far below zero as possible.
Store meat at zero or lower to prevent rapid
development of rancidity. The storage temperature should not vary; fluctuations foster dehydration.
