Abstract:
We investigated the effect of three kinds of freezing point regulators including CaCl
2, NaCl and V
C on cobia (
Rachycentron canadum) by single factor comparison experiment. 4% CaCl
2 treatment for 60 min decreased freezing point to -1.21 ℃; 2% NaCl treatment for 90 min decreased freezing point from -1.01 ℃ to -1.36 ℃; 0.5% V
C treatment for 30 min decreased freezing point to -1.30 ℃. Orthogonal experiment was conducted to determine the best proportion between NaCl and V
C. The results show that treatment with 3% NaCl and 0.3% V
C for 60 min decreased freezing point by 60.4%, from -1.01 ℃ to -1.62 ℃.
