Abstract
Two types of texturometers (weight-operated and spring operated) were
fabricated for the evaluation of fish texture. These devices were used to measure
the toughness of twenty species of commercially important fishes in raw and cooked
conditions. Texture was also evaluated by organoleptic method. A significant positive
correlation could be obtained between organoleptic scores and the texturometer
readings in the case of fish fillets both in raw and cooked condition.
