| Abstract | A comparative study of the suitability of five species of fish, namely, threadfin bream (Nemipterous japonicus), cat fish (Tachysurus jella), ribbon fish (Trichiurus spp.), barracuda (Sphyraena jello) and Jew fish (Pseudosciaena spp.) for the production of texturised meat has indicated that all these species are good source for the purpose. Protein content of the final product from all the species was higher than that precribed for FPC type A. The product had excellent rehydration capacity and firm and elastic texture. No significant difference was observed in the rehydration capacity of the texturised meat from all the species studied. Salt concentration was found to influence the texture and salt content of 1.5 to 2% was found to result in the desirable firm and elastic texture. Rehydration capacity was not influenced to any significant extent by the salt content. |
