An effective method for reducing the formation of curd in canned salmon is described. The process consists of applying an aqueous extract of papaya latex powder to the surfaces of raw salmon segments prior to conventional vacuum seaming and heat sterilization. It is based on the idea that large curd-forming proteins, once reduced to peptide and polypeptide fragments, will no longer coagulate when heated. A substantial reduction in curd formation was achieved in canned coho and sockeye salmon.
