Sensory evaluation
The sensory evaluation was performed by
thirty trained panelists on the basis of previous
experience. The assessment was conducted for
the odour of raw fish samples using a nine-point
hedonic scale. The evaluation of odour was
carried out at the moment of opening the pack.
For cooked samples, the samples were wrapped
with aluminium foil, cooked in steaming pot until
the core temperature of each sample reached 70
o
C. Stick water was drained and allowed to cool
to room temperature (25-28 oC). The flavour
likeness of cooked samples was evaluated using
a 9-point hedonic scale.
