Summary

Below -10 deg C the NADH (nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide hydrogenated)-dependent lipid peroxidation system is inhibited. Peroxidation remains after thawing, but inversely related to storage temperature. Microsome yield and lipid content were lower in the fillets stored at -10 than at -40 deg C. Most microsomal fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids, gradually decreased in the fish fillets stored at -10 deg C. Prolonged storage of catfish fillets would require storage below -20 deg C. Any thawing would result in reactivation of the peroxidase system.
