Abstract
The quality evaluation and shelf life studies were conducted for a novel battered and breaded snack product named as ‘Oyster pablano pepper fritter’ prepared from edible oyster (Crassostrea madrasensis) under chilled storage. The organoleptic, chemical and microbiological quality attributes were evaluated for the product both in Ready-to-Fry (RTF) and Ready-to-Eat (RTE) form under chilled storage. There was significant decrease in moisture and organoleptic scores on storage. The levels of other indices like TMA-N, TBA-N, pH, TBA value, FFA value and PV showed significant increasing trend on storage for both the RTF and RTE products. Sensory quality attributes of products decreased on storage and under chilled storage, RTF samples got spoiled on 10th day and RTE products on 14th day as indicated by sensory scores.
