Evaluation of Pressed Caviar quality in Tube Packaging

Abstract

Three types of packaging tubes (laminated tubewith aluminum coating, laminated tube withoutaluminum coating and tin tubes) were used asexperimental tubes and metal can (commonlyused in fisheries) was used as control packaging in this study. Caviar used was Asetra caviar. Experimental tubes weighed 50 g with caviar. 18 replicates were run for each tube type. All samples were stored at 3?C after packaging. Caviar quality was evaluated for a period of storage. Have 7 months on the basis of organoleptic, chemical, and microbial tests. Results obtained indicate that pressed caviar packed in laminated tubes with aluminum coating showed the least variations from phase 0 through the 7 months.
