Due to its higher lipids content it might be expected that rancidity would commence earlier in DFS than CFS since, for example, horse mackerel with a relatively low lipids content (0.7–1.85%) was found to develop rancidity after 3 months of storage at −20 °C (Aubourg et al. 2004). Variations in characteristics and composition between sausage types will, of course, affect their sensory properties. Amano (1965) reported that routine examination of fish sausages revealed contents of 67–68% water, 5–6% lipids and 14–15% protein. In addition, Chuapoehuk et al. (2001) found 74.50% water, 3.16% lipids, and 13.73% proteins in catfish sausages. The results of these studies were similar to those obtained for CFS in the present study.
