Effects of Freeze–Thaw Cycles on Water Migration, Microstructure and Protein Oxidation in Cuttlefish

This study was conducted to analyze the effects of multiple freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles on microstructural disruption, water migration, protein oxidation and textural properties of cuttlefish. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) showed an increase in the proportion of free water in cuttlefish...
