Abstract

THE spoilage odour in marine fishes has been attributed to the trimethylamine
formed as a result of reduction of trimethylamine oxide present in
the fijshes by bacterial action (Beatty and Gibbons, 1937; Tarr, 1939 and
Shewan, 1951). The presence of this oxide has been demonstrated in marine
as well as in fresh-water fishes by several workers (Beatty, 1938; Norris and
Benoit, 1945; Anderson and Fellers, 1952; and Venkataraman and Chari,
1953).
