The effects of muscle types and their cooling conditions on browning in the packing media solution of canned skipjack were investigated. Cooling conditions of dorsal muscle influenced browning of water fraction in packing media solution mainly due to amino‐carbonyl reaction associated with non‐protein nitrogen and sugars. For ventral muscle, brown color formation of oil as well as water fractions occurred due to degradation of amino nitrogen and non‐protein nitrogen, and lipid oxidation. The separation of whole meat into dorsal and ventral muscles after precooking, cooling at different appropriate temperatures (≤10°C for 16 h and −15°C for 3 h for dorsal and ventral muscles, respectively), and packing with lower ventral muscle content (≤ 20%) retarded browning of packing media solution in canned skipjack.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
