Summary

LARGE SIZED FROZEN YELLOWFIN TUNA AND SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA IN DRESSED FORM (DECAPITATED AND GUTTED) WERE THAWED BY MICROWAVE (915 MHERTZ) IRRADIATION. BOTH FROZEN TUNAS WERE THAWED FAIRLY WELL WITHIN AS SHORT TIME AS 30 MIN WITHOUT ANY PARTIAL OVERHEATING. NO CHANGES IN METMYOGLOBIN RATIO, FRESH-NESS AND TASTE COMPONENT VALUES WERE OBSERVED IN THE CASES OF YELLOWFIN TUNA. SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION, HOWEVER, OCCURRED IN SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA MEAT DURING MICROWAVE THAWING.
