Effect of Surface Properties of Plastic Casings on Meat Adhesion of Retort Sterilized Fish Sausage

The degree of meat adhesion to different kinds of plastic casings was examined in retort sterilized fish sausages. It was found that the plastic casings of great wettability such as polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyester and polyamide brought about greater meat adhesion than the ones of low wettability such as polyethylene and polypropylene. If polyethylene casing was modif...

Combined effect of sodium polyphosphate and smoking on quality parameters of fish (Capoeta umbla) sausage

Improving food quality is one the major issues for the food processing industry. Since food produced from fish spoils quickly, it obviously cannot be kept for an extended time. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of sodium polyphosphate and smoking on the shelf life of fish sausage that was produced from Capoeta umbla and stored at 4±1°C. Therefore, we designed four groups...
