Cg. Sotelo et al., TRIMETHYLAMINE OXIDE AND DERIVED COMPOUNDS CHANGES DURING FROZEN STORAGE OF HAKE (MERLUCCIUS-MERLUCCIUS), Food chemistry, 53(1), 1995, pp. 61-65
Changes in total volatile bases (TVB), dimethylamine (DMA), formaldehy
de (FA), trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) of whole
hake (Merluccius merluccius L.) were evaluated at different temperatu
res of storage: -5, -12 and -20 degrees C. Significant changes in TVB,
DMA, TMA, TMAO nitrogen and FA were observed at -5 degrees C. Only TM
AO changed significantly at -12 degrees C and -20 degrees C. TMAO decr
ease was not, therefore, followed by DMA and/or TMA production at thos
e temperatures.
