The effects of different freezing temperatures on the water-holding capacity and physicochemical properties of bluefin tuna were studied. The naked body, big belly and middle belly parts of bluefin tuna were stored at &minus:18 °:C and &minus:55 °:C for 180 days. The tuna was evaluated by determining the water-holding capacity, color difference, malondialdehyde (MDA), salt-soluble protein content, free amino acid (FAA), endogenous fluorescent proteins and water distribution and migration. The salt-soluble protein content was measured by the Bradford method. The color difference was measured by a CR-400 color difference meter. The water distribution and migration were analyzed by the low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). The results showed little quality change during short-term frozen storage, but the frozen storage temperature of &minus:55 °:C significantly improved the quality of tuna compared with the frozen storage temperature of &minus:18 °:C. There were great differences in the salt-soluble protein content, water-holding capacity and water content the different parts of the tuna. The water-holding capacity and the protein content were the highest, and the water distribution of the naked body part was the most uniform of the three different parts. Because of the high fat content in the big belly and the middle belly, the MDA content and the odor of amino acid increased rapidly and the quality seriously decreased during the frozen storage.
