Popis: Summary A number of bacterial, organoleptic and chemical evaluations were made on iced queen scallops in shell over 14 days total. The spoilage flora, qualitative and quantitative, is described. Organoleptic descriptions are given along with determinations of trimethylamine, total volatile bases, volatile reducing substances, glycogen, hypoxanthine, ribose fractions and optical density ratios at 248 nm before and after treatment with ion-exchange resin. Hypoxanthine showed the most promise as a spoilage indicator while total volatile bases and optical density ratio showed some promise but to a lesser extent.
