Abstract
This paper gives the changes in vacuum-packed seer fish (Scomberomonts guttatus) chunks during frozen storage. Frozen seer fish chunks were packed in pouches made of 12 micro polyester laminated with ISO gauge LDPE to study the effect of vacuum packaging in comparison with air packed samples. All these samples were stored
at -20°C and were subjected to biochemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation at regular intervals. The shelf life of vacuum packed seer fish chunks was 12 months, whereas air packed samples were acceptable for a period of 10 months only.
