NUCLEOTIDE CATABOLISM: INFLUENCE ON THE STORAGE LIFE OF TROPICAL SPECIES OF FISH FROM THE NORTH WEST SHELF OF AUSTRALIA.

Author(s) : BREMNER H. A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE STORAGE LIFE OF 4 SPECIES OF FISH FROM THE NORTH WEST SHELF WAS EXAMINED BY MEANS OF NUCLEOTIDE CATABOLISM AND SENSORY EVALUATION. THE SHELF LIFE WAS RELATED TO THE RATE OF INOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE (IMP) BREAKDOWN RATHER THAN TO BACTERIAL SPOILAGE, BECAUSE THE ENDEMIC MESOPHILIC BACTERIA WERE UNABLE TO ADAPT TO ICE STORAGE CONDITIONS. THE IMP LEVEL WAS FUNDAMENTALLY RELATED TO BOTH FLAVOUR INTENSITY, AND ACCEPTABILITY, AND WAS NOT MERELY CIRCUMSTANTIALLY RELATED TO TIME OF STORAGE.
