Drained Weight Determination of Frozen Glazed Snow Crabmeat

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on the official final action drained weight methods, 18.006–18.007 and 18.008–18.009, utilizing snow crab (Chionoectes). Three collaborators analyzed a total of 6 separate frozen packs. Two packs were analyzed by 18.008–18.009, the Alaska King Crab Market...

Description
Summary:Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on the official final action drained weight methods, 18.006–18.007 and 18.008–18.009, utilizing snow crab (Chionoectes). Three collaborators analyzed a total of 6 separate frozen packs. Two packs were analyzed by 18.008–18.009, the Alaska King Crab Marketing and Control Board method, and yielded an average recovery of 83% of put-in tissue weight; the 4 packs analyzed by 18.006–18.007 yielded an average recovery of 76% of put-in tissue weight. Both methods have been amended to include snow crabmeat.
