Dear Listers,
My department has published 2 books. These are:
1) A Guide to the Grading of Fish and Shellfish
This book endeavours to guide fish wholesalers, retailers, processors,
inspectors and technologists who are confronted with the need to use
sensory tests to evaluate the quality of fish and shellfish under iced
storage. It also aims to objectively reflect the sensory change changes
in fish and shellfish with the chemical, biochemical and microbiological
indices. The book has been made user friendly by organizing the data as
simply as possible and by providing many coloured plates of fish and
shellfish at different stages of spoilage to serve as a basis for
comparison.
2) Handbook on Tuna Products
MFRD has been developing interesting tuna by-products over the years to
meedt he demand of waste utilization as highlighted by the fish
industry. The products processed are tuna loaf, tuna chunk sausage,
barbecued tuna slice tuna steak, and seasoned tuna cubes which are
healthy alternatives of snacks consumed by children and others. There
are pictures which show the step-by-step methods of the production of
these tuna by-products.
Both books are available for S$15.00 (Singapore Dollars Fifteen only)
each, excluding courier charges. Please contact Miss Lay Yong Tan if you
are interested in acquiring them.
By the way, today is my last day serving as the Librarian of the Marine
Fisheries Research Department, Singapore. With effect from 1 Feb, Miss
Lay Yong Tan is the new librarian. It has been a pleasure to get to know
many of you through this discussion group. The research staff of this
department have learnt a lot and so have I. May I wish all of you
success in your future endeavours.
Regards
Mr Ronnie Tan
