How meat remains soild after being unfrozen?

124 views

Meat is mostly water and so I’ll excepted the meat cells to break when being frozen since ice takes more volume than water with the same mass and can also create crystals that can cut the cells membranes.

I can think why it’s not happening:
1. The cells are elastic enough to withstand the ice volume.
2. Since it’s not pure water it’s not cold enough to create hard ice it crystals.
3. Some does break and it’s somehow hold together?

Humans are 60% water and usually stay in one piece….
Meat is mostly the muscle tissue of an animal.
Most animal muscle is roughly 75% water, 20% protein, and 5% fat, carbohydrates, and assorted proteins. Muscles are made of bundles of cells called fibers. Each cell is crammed with filaments made of two proteins: actin and myosin

Its not just a glass of water, water is contained within the protein….
