ABSTRACT:
A process for obtaining a frozen fish product comprises: treating frozen or non-frozen fish, which comprises molecules of myosin and molecules of actin, each molecule of myosin having a head region (6) and a tail region (8), such that the conformation of the head region of the molecule of myosin changes irreversibly and the conformation of the molecule of actin does not change completely and irreversibly; and storing the fish under freezing conditions. Suitable treatments for affecting the conformational change include application of pressure. The treated fish product has an increased resistance to frozen deterioration of texture.
