Freezing Studies on a Model System and Quality Changes in Frozen Malaysian Fish

Malonaldehyde production in Threadfin Bream (0.8% fat content) was low and similar to that in Yellow-banded Trevally (9.7% fat content), whereas values for Chub Mackerel (2.1% fat content) was higher than both the former two species and were produced over a shorter storage period. These differences were also shown to conform to odour and flavour scores for all the three species . The protein solubility in Threadfin Bream (pH = 6.8) and Yellow-banded Trevally (pH = 6.15) remained low during the storage period which results in a softer texture. In comparison, Chub Mackerel (pH = 6.15) had a firmer texture as protein solubility remained higher during the storage period.
