Fish is a highly perishable commodity subjected to oxidative and microbial deterioration. Storage at low temperature can delay the process of deterioration up to some extent. In the present study, fish Clarias batrachus was used to investigate the effects of storage condition and duration of storage on the protein and glycogen level in the muscle. The fish were randomly divided into 4 groups; I: whole fresh fish stored in chilled condition, II: whole fresh fish stored in super- chilled condition, III: potassium sorbate treated fish stored in chilled condition, IV: potassium sorbate treated fish stored in super- chilled condition. The fish were stored in tea- chest boxes insulated with thermocol sheets. Ice and fish were arranged in alternate layers. Muscle of the stored fish were estimated for total protein and glycogen level on days 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 using standard laboratory protocols and were compared with those at day “0” of storage. The experiment was conducted separately in summer and winter seasons. A gradual decline in the level of protein and glycogen can be observed in all the groups with increasing days of storage. However, the decline was comparatively slower in winter season. Preservative treated fish showed lesser decline in the biochemical composition of fish muscle, when compared with whole fresh fish. Fish stored in super- chilled condition showed inhibition of loss of muscle protein and glycogen than that in chilled condition. Storage of fish using combination of safe food preservative and super- chilled condition can extend the shelf life of the fish with delayed deterioration of nutritive biochemical components.
