Type of article: Article

Summary

The enzymes that degrade nucleotides are denaturated during hot smoking, and the ATP breakdown products do not change during subsequent cold storage. Determination of the K-value could be used as a tentative method for determining that raw material was very fresh before heat treatment, as in the author's study of rainbow trout before hot smoking or whitefish before sous vide treatment.
