PREVENTION OF BROWNING DISCOLORATION AND DRIP LOSS OF FROZEN SHUCKED OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA GIGAS).

Summary

FRESH SHUCKED OYSTER WAS IMMERSED IN A MIXTURE SOLUTION CONTAINING 3% SODIUM CHLORIDE AND 1% OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ANTIOXIDANTS ; IE SODIUM-ERYTHORBATE, SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ERYTHORBIC ACID, AT A SOLUTION TEMPERATURE BELOW 278 K (5 DEG C) FOR 15 MINUTES. AFTER QUICK FREEZING, THE SAMPLES WERE GLAZED TO THE EXTENT OF 4-5% OF THE BODY WEIGHT USING THE SAME SOLUTION AS THE IMMERSION SOLUTIONS. NO BROWNING DISCOLORATION WAS OBSERVED AFTER 12 MONTHS STORAGE, BUT THE UNTREATED SAMPLES WERE DISCOLOURED SLIGHTLY AFTER 3 MONTHS STORAGE AND SEVERELY DISCOULOURED AFTER 9 MONTHS STORAGE. THE QUANTITY OF DRIP LOSS WAS REDUCED FROM 30% IN THE CONTROL SAMPLES TO BELOW 14% IN THE TREATED SAMPLES AFTER 12 MONTHS STORAGE AT 253 K (-20 DEG C).
