VARIATIONS IN POTENTIAL SHELF LIFE RESULTING FROM BOXING AT SEA PRACTICE.

Author(s) : MCDONALD I., GRAHAM J.

Summary

IT IS A PREREQUISITE FOR DEFINING THE SHELF LIFE OF CHILLED FISH PRODUCTS TO KNOW THE QUALITY OF THE FISH USED AND THAT THIS QUALITY IS OF A UNIFORM STANDARD. INVESTIGATIONS OF CURRENT BOXING AT SEA PRACTICE SHOW THAT POTENTIAL SHELF LIFE IS LOST AND FISH QUALITY IS VARIABLE AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE PRACTICE OF OVERFILLING OF FISH BOXES. UP TO 3 DAYS OF SHELF LIFE CAN BE LOST AFTER A STORAGE PERIOD OF 7 DAYS AND WIDE VARIATIONS CAN EXIST IN THE SAME BATCH OF FISH, AND IN SOME CASES EVEN IN THE SAME BOX. IDEAL ICING PRACTICE IS DEFINED AND THE BENEFITS OF USING THIS IN PLACE OF CURRENT PRACTICE AND A PROPOSED ICING METHOD ARE EVALUATED.
