Summary

ATLANTIC COD FILLETS WERE DIPPED IN COMMERCIAL TRIPOLY OR METAPHOSPHATE SOLUTIONS, FROZEN AND STORED AT EITHER 261 K (-12 DEG C) MORE OR LESS 0.5 K OR 243 K (-30 DEG C), CONSTANT OR WITH DAILY PROGRAMMED FLUCTUATIONS TO 247 K (-26 DEG C) FOR UP TO 26 WK. PHOSPHATE TREATMENTS AT BOTH TEMPERATURES DECREASED THAW DRIP AND COOKED DRIP AND YIELDED A PRODUCT WITH HIGHER RAW AND COOKED MOISTURE. PROTEIN CONTENT OF COOKED DRIP FROM FILLETS STORED AT 261 K WAS REDUCED BY PHOSPHATE TREATMENT ; NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WAS FOUND BETWEEN TREATED AND CONTROL SAMPLES AT 243 K. SENSORY EVALUATION OF TREATED FILLETS AT 243 K (WITH DAILY FLUCTUATION TO 247 K) REVEALED PHOSPHATED FILLETS TO BE THE MOST TENDER AND THE MOST HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE.
