The typical instructions I've seen are to wrap in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. (I think the plastic wrap keeps the air out and the foil helps stabilize the temperature.)
But I've been very happy with the ziplock "vacuum pump" bags. They're zip-sealed, and then pumped out with a little plastic hand pump. Not to be confused with ...

You have a challenge between some different goals:
freeze the meat in one large piece to minimize exposed surface area and thus freezer burn
freeze the meat in smaller pieces (at least 3) representing what you would eat at one time

Your question asks about a lot of very specific scientific detail, but really, with a bit of experience, you can make sorbet without any of that.
For most fruits, you need about 1/3 as much sugar as fruit by volume - two cups of fruit and 2/3 cup sugar is pretty common in recipes. This works with a good variety of fruits - for example, mangoes, ...
