Abstract
Several products were prepared with red meat of tuna which is generated as waste during canning of tuna products like wafer, paste, finger, cutlets, etc. on storage studies indicated lesser shelf life due to rancidity development. Whereas chutney powder, smoked fillets, hydrolysate, surimi etc. had acceptable organoleptic quality and substantial shelflife. The waste material was converted to tuna meal.
