    Use of Simple Fat Analysis for Evaluating Quality changes in intermediate Moisture Fish stored at Tropical Temperature .
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1987) OBANU, ZAK A.
    Changes in the quality of intermediate moisture (IM) fish during storage at 38°C were monitored by assessing the moisture content, pH, acid value, peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value periodically. Results adequately portrayed the hydrolysis and peroxidation of fats and the concomitant protein degradation and cro.sslinking reactions that have been shown by more so.phisticated methods to. occur in intermediate moisture fish. Since these changes markedly affect the organoleptic quality, acceptability/shelf-life and nutritive value of IM flesh-foods their predictability by simple fat analytical techniques i::i of practical value where/ when the more sophisticated monitoring techniques are not feasible
