Avaliation of the Fish Caught Quality Using Physical Chemical and Sensory Methodology

Resumen

The raw material used in developing this research were fish of the species, Pargo (Lutjanus purpureus, Poey 1867), Cioba (Lutjanus analis, Cuvier), Biquara (Haemulum plumieri) e Cangulo (Balistis vetula, Linnaeus) caught at State of Ceará. Experiments aimed at determining maximum period of storage of the product when stored in ice as well as its physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics over a l6 days period. Physicochemical and organoleptic analysis demonstrated that both the disembolwelled fish and the ones whicg were kept whole suffered considerable loss of quality over the period in which they were stored in ice.
