TBA value is a measure of the secondary stage of lipid oxidation.
A TBA value of more than 1e2 mg Malonaldehyde kg1 in fish
muscle will lead to objectionable taste and odour and thus, it is
considered as the limit (Connell, 1995). In the present study, TBA
value showed an upward trend during storage and it was above
1 mg Malonaldehyde kg1 for the control fish steaks on 15th day of
chilled storage (Table 3).
