Type of article: Article

Summary

THE DETERIORATION OF SNAPPER (CHRYSOPHRYS AURATUS) HELD AT 273 K (0 DEG C) IN THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF BACTERIA WAS STUDIED USING FROZEN FILLETS HELD AT 243 K (-30 DEG C) AS A REFERENCE. CHILLED SNAPPER WITH OR WITHOUT BACTERIA LOST THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FRESH SNAPPER BY 9 DAYS AND DEVELOPED UNPLEASANT ODOURS AND FLAVOURS BY 15 DAYS STORAGE. OVER THIS PERIOD THE STERILE PORTIONS WERE NEVER OF A BETTER QUALITY THAN THOSE UNDERGOING NORMAL MICROBIAL SPOILAGE. REGRESSION EQUATIONS FOR PREDICTING FISH QUALITY FROM THE LEVELS OF NUCLEOTIDE CATABOLITES WERE CONSIDERED.
