Different superscript letters within the same common category indicate significant differences for the storage state (p<0.05).
Meat storage groups: CS, chilled state on sous-vide; FS, frozen state without thawing on sous-vide; TS, frozen/thawed state on sous-vide.
Temperature groups: 65, sous-vide cooking temperature 65°C, and 72, sous-vide cooking temperature 72°C.
