Summary

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL INDICES WERE DETERMINED ON FROZEN COD FILLETS STORED FOR ABOUT 90 DAYS AT EITHER 261, 258, 251, 240 K (-12, -15, -22, -30 DEG C) OR UNDER A SET OF SIMULATED INDUSTRIAL FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS (SIFTC). UNIVARIATE ANDMULTIVARIATE STATISTICS ON THE QUALITY INDICES GAVE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FROZEN STORAGE TEXTURAL DETERIORATION AND THE CHEMICAL PARAMETERS AS INFLUENCED BY STORAGE TEMPERATURE. RESULTS ON THE SIFTC RESEMBLED THE 261 AND 258 K STORAGE TREATMENTS. CHEMICAL INDICES HAD LOWER ACTIVATION ENERGY VALUES THAN THOSE FOR THE PHYSICAL PARAMETERS. AMMONIA, DETERMINED ENZYMATICALLY, CAN BE USED AS AN INDEX OF FROZEN FISH QUALITY.
