Abstract
Samples of silver smelt, as fillets from frozen fish, as block-frozen fillets and as block-frozen mince, were thawed and tested for toughnes s (by shearing) and water-binding capacity after storage at -28-degree s-C for 150, 235 and 374 days; cryoprotectants were not used. Shear va lues fell over the storage period for fillets from frozen fish but rem ained relatively constant for the other two types of frozen material. Block-frozen fillets had the highest shear values. The water-binding c apacities were lowest for block-frozen mince and decreased steadily ov er the three test dates for the three types of material.
