Summary

THE PAPER SUMMARISES THE RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL WORK WHICH HAS BEEN DONE, AND GIVES REFERENCES, UNDER HEADINGS. 1. UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION IN FROZEN FISH. THESE ARE DESCRIBED. 2. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DEHYDRATION OF FROZEN FISH FLESH. THREE PHASES ARE RECOGNISED AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WEIGHT LOSS, AIR VELOCITY AND VAPOUR PRESSURE IS FORMULATED. 3. WEIGHT LOSS MEASUREMENTS IN COLD STORES. A TABLE GIVES THE RESULTS OF A SURVEY OF WEIGHT LOSSES IN STORES WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOLING. THE LOSSES VARY CONSIDERABLY. 4. VARIATION IN WEIGHT LOSS. CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES CAN OCCUR IN ANY ONE STORE AND BETWEEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF PACKAGE. 5. STORE DESIGN AND WEIGHT LOSS. OPERATIONAL FACTORS CAN MORE THAN OFFSET GOOD DESIGN. C.R.F.
