Summary
THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM WAS STUDIED: PREPACKED FISH CONTINUOUSLY PASSES THROUGH A TUNNEL WHERE IT IS SUPERFICIALLY FROZEN. IT IS EMPHASIZED THAT COOLING TIMES OF SEVERAL MINUTES ARE SUFFICIENT TO OBTAIN A SATISFACTORY THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM ON THE PRODUCT SOME MINUTES LATER. HAD THE FISH BEEN CHILLED AND STORED, EXPENSIVE SURFACE FREEZING (ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE QUALITY) WOULD HAVE BEEN UNNECESSARY. A TEST USING RAPID CHILLING HAS REVEALED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TOINCREASE THE SHELF LIFE BY ONE DAY AND A HALF (3 TO 5 DAYS FOR A HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT).
