This work focuses on the effect of a washing process followed by frozen storage (6 months; -18 °C) on the quality of minced silver carp muscle. A previous washing step has led to a positive effect on fish quality according to marked content decreases in expressible moisture, volatile amines, free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; such quality performances were maintained throughout the frozen storage. On the other hand, most indexes tested showed quality losses throughout the frozen storage in both washed and unwashed fish material; however, water holding capacity (WHC) remained unchanged in washed fish throughout the frozen storage. Among quality indexes, a special attention should be given to the expressible moisture value and accordingly the WHC, as being closely related to the gelforming ability in order to obtain surimi-type commercial products.}, number={1}, journal={Grasas y Aceites}, author={Asgharzadeh, Afsaneh and Shabanpour, Bahareh and Aubourg, Santiago P. and Hosseini, Hedayat}, year={2010}, month={Mar.}, pages={95–101} }
