The effect of washing machine separated rockfish flesh on
composition, quality and desirability was investigated.
Washing machine separated rockfish flesh resulted in a
36.88% loss of solids. The greatest reductions were found in the ash
(80.32%) and lipid (65.13%) levels in the washed flesh. Most of the
sarcoplasmic proteins were...
Freezing is one of the important technologies for preservation of foods.
In this project, using surimi as a food model, thermophysical properties of frozen
foods were evaluated and the freezing process was simulated using a finite
element package.
To measure temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, a line-source
probe system was used. Effects...
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...
The biochemical and organoleptic changes that took place in
raw whole Pacific shrimp and in the cooked meat during eight days
of iced storage were investigated.
A steady increase of both microbial numbers on the raw shrimp
and pH in the raw shrimp and cooked meat was observed.
The levels...
A method was devised and tested for rapid and quantitative
identification of microbial flora in fresh seafoods. The rapid
identification of large numbers of isolates was made possible by
(1) a simplified identification scheme established by reference
culture studies and from the known reactions of microorganisms
reported in the literature,...
