Summary

THE SHELF LIFE AND QUALITY OF MULLET (MUGIL SPP) CAUGHT OFF THE SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC COAST WERE EVALUATED DURING STORAGE AT 271 K (-2 DEG C) EITHER UNPACKAGED OR VACUUM PACKED IN IOLON FILM. SUBZERO TEMPERATURE WAS MAINTAINED BY STORING FISH IN EITHER 2% SODIUM CHLORIDE OR 7% PROPYLENE GLYCOL-ICE. SHELF LIFE OF FISH AT 271 K WAS 10 DAYS, COMPARED TO 7 DAYS FOR THE FISH STORED IN 273 K (0 DEG C). EXTENSION OF SHELF LIFE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO DELAYED MICROBIAL GROWTH AND SLOW BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES. STRUCTURAL CHANGES DUE TO ICE CRYSTALS AT SUBZERO TEMPERATURE STORAGE APPEARED TO BE MINOR COMPARED TO THOSE WHICH OCCURRED DURING FREEZING AT 253 K (-20 DEG C) AS REVEALED BY MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION.
