Summary

Four species of freshwater carp were frozen then stored at -20°C for 10 months. Salt soluble nitrogen levels decreased slowly. The intensity and thickness of myosin heavy chain band also decreased. Total volatile base nitrogen and hypoxanthine contents rose. The carp species with the highest gel strength following storage could be used in high-value products.
