Summary

THE DISCOLORATION PROFILE OF TUNA MEAT FROM SEVERAL SPECIES, FRESH OR FROZEN-THAWED AND STORED IN ICE, WAS EVALUATED BY MEASURING THE METMYOGLOBIN RATE, MYOGLOBIN SOLUBILITY AND HUNTER COLOUR. THE DISCOLORATION OF THAWED FISH IS QUICKER THAN THAT OF FRESH TUNA, INDEPENDENTLY OF SPECIES. IN STORAGE IN ICE THE PERCENTAGE OF METMYOGLOBIN DECREASES, WHEREAS MYOGLOBIN SOLUBILITY INCREASES. TUNA IS THE MOST STABLE VARIETY IN TERMS OF DISCOLORATION, EVEN AFTER FREEZING. (Bibliogr. int. CDIUPA-CNRS, FR., 88-210-238176.
