Summary

Traditional Japanese dried food "katsuo-bushi", a highly smoked, dried fillet of bonito fish meat was used as samples to measure the compressive fracture stress. The compressive fracture stress of 0% moisture Katsuo-bushi was found to be constant at temperatures between 25 and -196 deg C. On the other hand, fracture stress of katsuo-bushi with 15-20% moisture changed greatly at temperatures between 0 and -90 deg C, showing the feature of yielding. The temperature of brittle-ductile transition was different from the glass transition temperature as defined by differential scanning calorimetry.
