Abstract:
Shelf life of brine refrigerated whole squid ( Illex illecebrosus ) was about 3 days at 7.2 C and 5 days at 0.6 C. No difference in keeping quality was detected when using 3 or 12% brine. Salt-requiring, heat-sensitive bacteria predominated in the spoilage flora. Sensory evaluation of whole squid and canned mantles showed significant correlations with trimethylamine-nitrogen and tyrosine content of the raw material. Precanning blanching caused 37% shrinkage and 15% loss of dry matter in fresh squid, which increased with preprocess storage conditions to a maximum of 56% shrinkage and 42% loss of dry material.

Quality Control
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...
