Abstract

Abstract: Catla catla form a major component of Indian aquaculture, with a market share of over 90%. However, the fish has limited scope for consumption in the fresh form due the presence of intramuscular bones. This study is an attempt to explore the possibilities of better utilization of this species by development of mince based value added products and the evaluation of shelf life during frozen storage. Mince from catla was used for the preparation of value added products viz., fish cutlets and fish burgers. The biochemical and sensory parameters of these products were analyzed to study the quality changes and shelf life of these products in frozen storage at-20 0 C. Fish cutlets and fish burgers remained acceptable upto 180 and 176 days of storage after which loss in over all acceptability was noticed.
