Summary

Glass transition of fresh red meat of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and its filtrate occurred between -71 and -68 deg C, independent of cooling rate from 1 up to 50 K/minute. Addition of salt to the filtrate caused a decrease of about 20 K in glass transition temperature. Results suggested the possibility of qualitative improvement in quality of fish by lowering the storage temperature by 15 K below the present storage temperature (-55 deg C).
