Notes:
Alterations in the connective tissue of pork liver during storage were examined histologically. The connective tissue outlining the lobule of pork liver was apparently unaltered during refrigerated storage (R-S), but showed extensive crimping or waviness during freeze-thaw (F-T) cycling. Intralobular connective tissue (reticulin) disappeared during R-S but was still visible after six F-T cycles. The existence of a proteolytic enzyme active against Type III collagen at refrigerator temperatures but irreversibly inactivated by freezing was postulated.
