| Abstract | Quality levels were studied of industrial samples of squid (loligo spp.) and cuttlefish (Sepia spp.) in different configurations including wholw, whole cleaned, tubes and fillets. They are the second major seafood export from India. The quality evaluation was made by following the sensory, biochemical and microbiological characteristics. Sensory testing indicated that around 90% of the samples were moderately good to excellent in quality. Based on biochemical indices, 85% of the samples maintained good quality. In general, the bacterial quality of the products was good. The samples were all free from Vibrio cholerae, while only 3.2% were infected by Salmonella. Significant correlations between sensory scores and objective tests were found in most cases. |
