The flavour of a seafood is one of several sensory properties that determines whether it is marketable and at what market price. Those species of crustaceans that possess characteristic flavours, such as the Endeavour prawn, the Royal Red prawn and the Balmain Bug have from time to time been...

Summary

5 papers have been published from this work. The FIRTA travel funds enabled the microbiologist and the engineer employed with FIRTA money to accompany the permanent staff of TFRU to a joint CSIRO-DSIR workshop on seafood technology from the 7-11th April. The workshop was held in Nelson and included industry visits.

The work has focused particularly on fresh seafoods due to a marked swing back to a preference for unfrozen products by the general public. However, in the main, products for export must be frozen and a comprehensive study has therefore been undertaken on the effects of freezing seafood products in the commercial fiberboard packages in which they are ultimately shipped.

The occurrence and significance of pathogenic vibrios in oysters

A method for the enumeration of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters that is more reliable than the Australian Standard most probable number (MPN) method was developed. The improved MPN method was also shown to be superior to a plate count on a widely used selective agar medium.
