Accompanying Notes


Gives advice on the cooking, freezing, smoking, salting and canning of cod roe. The Measurements are given in British units; Note 40 gives conversion factors to SI units. Reference in the text to an 80° brine refers to the so-called 'brine strength' or degree of saturation of the brine which is temperature dependent; this brine strength requires 268 g salt to be added to 1 litre of water at 16°C, i.e. a 21.1% solution of salt. With reference to the addition of colouring during processing, the reader should consult current food legislation controlling additives that are permissible.
