Abstract
When mammalian muscle is frozen there is a breakdown in the structure of the muscle which is shown by the free fluid which drains away on thawing. Recent work on the freezing of living tissues has shown that the effects of freezing and desiccation are identical. The present work was undertaken to fix the amounts of water frozen out from muscle at different temp. At [long dash]20[degree] C. 94-98% of the water in the muscle is present as ice, indicating that the amount of "bound" water is not greater than 6% of the total water in the muscle.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
