Involvement of collagen and connective tissue in postmortem changes in seafoods.

Author(s) : Ifremer, FIOM, MONTERO P.

Summary

Collagen is the main constituent of connective tissue which is responsible for the integrity of fish and for the physical properties of the flesh of marine fish and invertebrates. Gaping is produced by the rupturing of the connection between the myotomes and the myocommata and as a result the flesh tends to disintegrate. The paper deals with the mechanisms of this disintegration.
