The study was intended to investigate comparatively the thermal properties of muscles from 5 different freshwater fish(Megalobrama amblycephala,Ctenopharyngodon idellus,Pelteobagrus fulvidraco,Lateolabras janopicus and Siniperca chuatsi) by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),including moisture content,freezing point,denaturation temperature,denaturation enthalpy and specific heat capacity.Results showed that the freezing points of the five fish ranged from-0.57 to-0.10 ℃;the onset temperature of decales...
