Summary

THE RATE OF NONMICROBIAL DETERIORATION IN THE FLESH OF BASTARD TRUMPETER (LATRIDOPSIS FORSTERI) WAS STUDIED. STERILE FLESH BECAME UNACCEPTABLE WITHIN 7 DAYS AT 277 K (4 DEG C), DUE TO NONMICROBIAL DETERIORATION. THE RATE OF NUCLEOTIDE CATABOLISM WAS SUFFICIENTLY RAPID TO CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TOWARD THE DECREASE IN ACCEPTABILITY OF THIS SPECIES DURING CHILL-STORAGE. DETERIORATION WAS SLOW AT 266 K (-7 DEG C), AND LITTLE CHANGE OCCURRED AT 255 K (-18 DEG C). IT WAS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLESH WERE AS IMPORTANT TO SPOILAGE AS THE MICROBIOLOGY OF THE PRODUCT. TEMPERATURE ABUSE MUST BE AVOIDED TO ENSURE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SHELF LIFE.
