A preliminary investigation of freeze storage on the production of trimethylamine nitrogen in some species of leiognathidae

Abstract

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of newlinetma n as a parameter for estimating the freshness of fish and the impact of storing fish with gut and without gut in the production of tma n newlinetrimethylamine estimation is the most satisfactory measure so far developed to assess spoilage in sea fish since the concentration of trimethylamine oxide is usually sufficient to provide an adequate source of trimethylamine in the present study two species namely leiognathus splendens and leiognathus edentula were used to study the concentration of tma n newline newline
