Abstract

The effects of frozen storage on the composition and
quality of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were investigated. The
mussels were shucked and frozen at ??20_C and analyses conducted on
a monthly basis. Frozen storage affected moisture content. Moisture loss
was high throughout the storage period (4 months). Product was unacceptable
after 4 months frozen storage. TVB-N, TMA-N, and pH values
also increased during frozen storage.
