The inhibition mechanism of the texture deterioration of tilapia fillets during partial freezing after treatment with polyphenols

Abstract The inhibition mechanism of the texture deterioration of tilapia fillets after treatment with polyphenols during partial freezing for 49 days was studied. Carnosic acid (CA), procyanidin (PA), quercetin (QE), and resveratrol (RSV) treatments had significantly higher hardness values (over 230 g) than the control group (183 g) on day 49 (P
