Raw caviar derived from these sample Pasific Grey Mullets has an average weight of 143.9±23 g, salted caviar weights 107.33±21.87 g and waxed caviar weights 118.00±23.83 g. As a result of the chemical analyses which have been made, the amount of raw protein was found as 10.84±0.24% in the raw egg; however it increased during the storage process in the processed egg and was observed as 30.152±0.11% on the 50th day (0th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th, days). Amount of raw fat in raw and processed samples, Shelf life of waxed caviar was found as 40 days according to the chemical analyses made after 50th day is spoiled. ER -
