Frozen Storage Stability of Modified Pollock Theragra chalcogramma) Blocks Containing 15% or 30% Minced Pollock

ABSTRACT Pollock were removed from ice or refrigerated seawater after 2, 4 and 6 days and processed into fillet blocks or fillet blocks containing 15% or 30% minced flesh. Although all the samples were acceptable after 12 months, the addition of minced flesh and storage at ‐ 18°C affected texture an...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Pollock were removed from ice or refrigerated seawater after 2, 4 and 6 days and processed into fillet blocks or fillet blocks containing 15% or 30% minced flesh. Although all the samples were acceptable after 12 months, the addition of minced flesh and storage at ‐ 18°C affected texture and flavor. This was particularly evident for blocks containing 30% minced flesh, and results suggest the addition of minced flesh should be limited to 15%. Changes in dimethylamine and expressed thaw drip may explain the changes in sensory attributes since there were small changes in the control blocks held at −34°C.
