PROCESSED FOOD FROM MYOGLOBIN-CONTAINING RED FISH MEAT TO BE EATEN RAW AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

A processed food from myoglobin-containing red fish meat to be eaten raw, said processed food comprising a mixture consisting of granular parts and paste parts. When measured by image analysis, the ratio of the total area of the granular parts in the processed food is 5-50% inclusive and the coefficient of variation (CV value) of the grain size in the granular parts is 70-190% inclusive. In hue measurement by image analysis, the ratio of parts with a reddish hue in the processed food is 12-60% inclusive. The processed food is manufactured by sealingly packaging the myoglobin-containing red fish meat to be eaten raw, said red fish meat being in a state of containing a reducing agent, in an oxygen impermeable packaging material, and then freezing the same. The oxygen impermeable packaging material has an oxygen permeability at 23^°C of 500 cc/(m²·24hr·atm) or less.
