Summary

BLUE GRENADIER FILLETS, PH 6.7, WHICH HAD BEEN STORED FROZEN FOR 3 WK WERE THAWED AND REPACKED UNDER VACUUM AND IN AIR WITH AND WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF 0.1% POTASSIUM SORBATE. THE EFFECTS OF THESE TREATMENTS ON MICROBIAL FLORA WERE NOTED AFTER SUBSEQUENT STORAGE OF THE FILLETS AT 277 K (4 DEG C). SENSORY PROFILES OF ODOR AND FLAVOR OF THE STORED MATERIAL WERE CONSTRUCTED. THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE AEROBICALLY STORED FILLETS HAD SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED AFTER 7 D OF STORAGE. VACUUM PACKAGING IN CONJUNCTION WITH 0.1% POTASSIUM SORBATE RESULTS IN A MINIMAL EXTENSION OF SHELF-LIFE.
