Abstract
Fish minces from Dhoma and Lactarius were mixed in the ratio of 40:60 respectively, and quick frozen along with individual minces at -40°C and stored at -20°C. Shelf-life was evaluated by following biochemical, physical and organoleptic changes -0ccured during storage upto 44 weeks. Rapid decreases were noted in water soluble nitrogen and salt soluble nitrogen fractions during the initial period of 16 weeks. A good correlation was observed between changes :i.n salt-soluble nitrogen and organoleptic evaluation. The minces, were in good and acceptable condition up to 32 weeks of storage.
