    Effect of packaging materials on the shelf life of frozen fish fingers
    (Society of Fisheries Technologis(India), 1994) Antony, K.P.; Srinivasa Gopal, T.K.; Thankamma, R.; Prabhu, P.V.
    A commercially available lean fish, Sciaena aneus, was used for making battered and breaded fish fingers. The fish fingers were packed in flexible film pouches of SOJ,L Low density polyetheylne (LOPE), 62.5µ. Low density polyethylene- High density polyethylene (LO/HOPE), 20µ High molecular weight high density polyethylene (HM-HOPE) and 100µ. Low density polyethylene-Nylon-Primacore (LOPE/NY /PC), heat sealed and stored at -20"C and storage quality evaluation was conducted in comparison to the control sample which was kept without packaging. Control samples were discarded in 4 weeks time due to rancidity development, tough texture aand colour changes. The samples packed in LO/ HOPE and LOPE/NY /PC remained in satisfactory condition up to 28 and 32 weeks, respectively, whereas LOPE and HM-HOPE packed samples remained in satisfactory condition only for 20 weeks.

    Packaging and storage studies of dried lizard fish
    (Society of Fisheries Technologis(India), 1983) Antony, K.P.; Govindan, T.K.
    Packaging and storage studies of salted and dried lizard fish ( Saurida sp.) have been conducted using different synthetic films like low density polyethylene (LDPE) of different gauges, high density polyethylene (HDPE) of 200 gauge, polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coated 400 MXXT cellophane, 100 gauge polypropylene (PP) and paper laminate of 100 gauge polythene. The films found most effective in the preliminary studies were subsequently used for packaging and storage of dried fish at atmospheric and lower temperature and humidity conditions for confirming their suitability under these conditions. Polyethylene films of higher gauges showed better results under both sets of conditions. PVDC coated cellophane film also performed satisfactorily under the latter conditions which under the former condition got easily attacked by insects. Lower temperature and humidity conditions in general enhanced the storage life of the dried product
