PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for suppressing freeze-denaturation of meat capable of suppressing freeze-denaturation by inexpensive processing without generating sweetness, and meat suppressed in freeze-denaturation.SOLUTION: Meat is immersed in salt water with the concentration of 10 mass% or more so that the salt water permeates the center section of the meat. When the concentration of the center part of the salt water is lower than the concentration of the salt water at a center position between the external surface and the center part, the meat is taken out of the salt water. The meat taken out is packed with plastic wrap, vacuum packaged and frozen at minus 20-22°C.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】安価な処理で、甘味を生じることなく、冷凍変性を抑制可能な食肉の冷凍変性抑制方法および冷凍変性抑制食肉を提供する。【解決手段】10質量%以上の濃度の食塩水に食肉を浸漬して食肉の中心部分まで食塩水を浸透させ、食肉の中心部分の食塩水の濃度が外表面と中心部分との中央位置の食塩水の濃度より低い濃度のとき、食肉を食塩水から取り出す。取り出した食肉をラップで包装し、真空包装して-20乃至-22℃で凍結する。【選択図】なし
