Cryoprotection in stabilized mince from Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) was investigated by monitoring changes in physical and chemical properties during 32 weeks of frozen storage. The effects of 4 different cryoprotectants were evaluated by torsion test, color analysis, extractability of salt soluble proteins, and formation of dimethylamine (DMA) and 2-thiobarbituric...
The effect of round shrimp post-catch age on the frozen shelf-life
characteristics of processed cooked meat was evaluated. Refrigerated
shrimp, one, three, and five days post-catch, were cooked,
mechanically peeled, frozen at -29°C and held for a period of twelve
months at -18°C. At three month intervals, samples were subjected...
The effects of freeze-drying and flake freezing of surimi on biochemical and physical properties as affected by various storage conditions were examined. Using three cooking parameters shear stress and strain values were evaluated to measure gelation properties of surimi gels. Stress values increased up to 3 months and then decreased...
Peas (Pisum sativum) are an important constituent in the diet
