    Freeze drying of fishery products Part I. Drying characteristics of some common Indian food fishes
    (1969) Govindan, T. K.; AyyappanPillai, S.; Charles Gordan, T.
    The amenability to freeze drying preservation of prawns [Penaeus indicus (Milne-Edwards)]. oil sardine [Sardinella longiceps (V.)], Ptilirnin [Nentipterw japonicus (B1.)], Mullet (Mugil sp.), Cullawah (Epinephetus spp.) and golaree [Otolithes argenteus (C.)] has been studied. The effects of prefreezing, evaporative freezing, presence of fat in the fish on the drying rates and reconstitution behaviour of the freeze dried stuff have been assessed. Prawn and lean fish lend -themselves well to freeze drying both in fresh and cooked forms, yielding products with good reconstitution and organoleptic properties. High fat contents in the fish retard both dehydration and rehydration. The product obtained by prefreezing is superior to that obtained by evaporative freezing in respect of reconstitution behaviour and Organoleptic properties.
