Abstract
Polymer coated Tin-free Steel (TFS) cans suitable for thermal processing of fish are now
available in India. However, for successful use in thermal processing, the cans need to meet
various performance criteria with respect to physicochemical properties. These cans were
extensively tested for its suitability for processing different fish products. In this study, the
physico-chemical properties such as sulphur staining test, delamination test, global migration
test, air pressure test etc. were studied and the results compared with standards. Different
fish products were processed at different Fo values and shelf life was determined by
organoleptic test. The result indicates that the TFS cans locally available are suitable for
thermal processing of fish and fishery products.
