STUDIES OF RADIATION PASTEURISATION OF MEDIUM FATTY FISH I. CONTROL OF RADIATION INDUCED OXIDATIVE CHANGES IN WHITE POMFRET (Stromateus cinereus) BY VACUUM PACKAGING

Abstract

Marked differences were observed in proximate biochemical
compositions of the skin and muscle of white pomfret. The skin
showed comparatively higher content of extractable lipids and was:
more susceptible to radiation-induced oxidative changes like development
of rancid odours and yellow discolouration than the muscle.
Irradiation of skin samples under vacuum suppressed these changes.
