Glycogenolysis in fish-liver at low temperatures

Abstract

At 0[degree] the anaerobic changes occurring in total carbohydrate, glycogen, free sugar, and lactic acid indicate the rapid accumulation of an unidentified intermediary fraction which breaks down at a lower rate to form free sugar. In frozen tissue, the rate of change decreases with lowering of temp. Below -6[degree] very small changes are evident over 53 hrs.'' storage.
