Summary

POLLOCK, PROCESSED AND FROZEN IN ALASKA, WERE THAWED AND MECHANICALLY FILLETED. A SEPARATOR WAS USED TO PREPARE MINCED FLESH FROM THE FILLET TRIMMINGS. BLOCKS WERE PREPARED FROM RANDOMLY PACKED CHOPPED FILLETS AND CHOPPED FILLETS MIXED WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF MINCED FLESH. THE QUALITY OF THE BLOCKS WAS MONITORED DURING SUBSEQUENT FROZEN STORAGE. THE QUALITY OF BLOCKS PREPARED FROM CHOPPED FILLETS WAS SIMILAR TO THAT OF CONVENTIONAL FILLET BLOCKS. ALTHOUGH MINCED FLESH WAS LESS STABLE, AN ACCEPTABLE, BUT SOMEWHAT LOWER QUALITY PRODUCT COULD BE MADE FROM A COMBINATION OF FILLETS AND 20% MINCED FLESH.
