example, in freshwater prawn, the development of mushy texture
downgrades its quality. In tuna, the development of honeycombing
is an undesirable defect. In the postcooking examination
of tuna before filling into the cans, the appearance of honeycombing
is a sign of mishandling of the raw material. In more
extensive cases, it may even cause the rejection of the precooked
fish for further processing into canned tuna.
