Determination of degree of heating of fish muscle

Abstract
Summary. Experiments in order to control the degree of heating of lean fish (hake) and oily fish (mackerel and pilchard) are described. In the temperature range of 60‐100°C the maximum temperature (Tm) of a heat treatment on a hake homogenate could be calculated from the coagulation temperature (Tc) obtained by a modified coagulation test by use of the equation Tm=1.02. Tc‐0.2±2.0. In the case of oily fish the equation Tm=Tc+ 0.1 ± 2.6 could be used to calculate the maximum temperature in the range of 60‐80°C.
