Abstract
ABSTRACTEffects of moisture loss in tray‐packed fresh fillets of Flounder (Pogonias cromis), Red Snapper (Litjanus blackfordii), Croaker (Micropogon undulatus) and Ocean Perch (Sebastes marinus) were studied. The fish, purchased from seafood suppliers and processed into fillets at their prospective plants, were packaged in plastic foam trays lined with absorbent pads, overwrapped, and subsequently stored at 2°C (35.6°F) for 8 days. Gross and net weights decreased whereas the percent drip increased for all fish during storage. Except for croaker, the total moisture content remained virtually unchanged for all fillets during storage. The acceptability of all fillets decreased as the Trimethylamine‐Nitrogen concentrations increased.
