ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF INDIVIDUALLY QUICK-FROZEN VACUUM-PACKED TUNA STEAKS.
Author(s) : TEIXEIRA A. A., DOLANDE J. J.
Summary
VACUUM PACKED TUNA STEAKS WERE INDIVIDUALLY FROZEN IN EITHER LIQUID HALOGEN OR IN AN AIR STORAGE FREEZER, AND EVALUATED FOR KEEPING QUALITY AFTER 1 AND 3 MONTHS OF FROZEN STORAGE AT 246 K (-27 DEG C). THE RESULTING FREEZING RATES WERE USED TO PROJECT THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF A SMALL SCALE COMMERCIAL PROCESSING PLANT. THE VACUUM PACKED STEAKS DEMONSTRATED KEEPING QUALITY COMPARABLE TO FRESH CONTROL SAMPLES HANDLED AS IN NORMAL DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS. THE PROFIT MARGIN IS SUFFICIENT TO PAY BACK THE ESTIMATED COST OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT IN LESS THAN 6-MONTH OPERATION AT FULL CAPACITY.
