Abstract

Fish mince from Pink perch (Nemipterus japonicus) in the concentration of 15% along with 85% refined wheat flour was used for the production of noodles. Optimisation of thermal process parameters were carried out and it was found Fo value of 7 min, cook value of 74.78 min and total process time of 36.04 min to be optimum for processing fish noodles in HIPP trays. Storage studies of ready-to-eat noodles at ambient temperature indicated a decrease in lightness. Yellowness and redness increased during the storage period. The instrumental texture analysis showed an increasing trend for hardness. Sensory analysis revealed that during storage, appearance, color and texture were mostly affected. Odor, flavor and taste were well accepted even at the end of storage period. Biochemical parameters were well within the limit of acceptability. Thermally processed ready-to-eat fish noodles had a shelf life of 90 days at ambient temperature (28 ± 2 °C).
