ABSTRACT
Meat freezing is a necessity that has emerged and grown with the opening of world level markets. Meat industry, in its quest to become more competitive, has found itself constrained to establish marketing channels at a long distance and for extended periods. Even though refrigeration is one of the most commonly used preservation methods, it is insufficient to cover such needs. Therefore, freezing becomes a solution in spite of its high cost compared to refrigeration and a decrease of the price of thus preserved meat, which results in a paradox.
