...freezing and thawing causes breakdown of cell MEMBRANES (not walls; walls only in plants) allowing release of proteolytic and lipolytic (protein and fat) enzymes with lead to putrefaction (rotting). The smell is from sulfur-containing (mercapto-) compounds in protein. Couple this with bacterial breakdown and maggots...you get mush!!! Scott J. MichaelsDVM
