Value-added trout burgers and trout wontons were prepared from minced trout trimmings, oats, dried onion flakes, white pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, spice mix and eggs. The trout burgers were coated with crushed cornflakes and then partially cooked (2 min at 140ºC) or frilly cooked (5 min at 140ºC) in hot oil. Similar fillings were used to prepare trout wontons by wrapping the mixture with Chinese wonton dough and 2 products were made: raw wonton (uncooked) and fried wonton (fried for 8 min at 140ºC). / Storage trials were performed on raw and fried trout wontons (a w 0.98--0.95, pH 6.5), and partially and fully cooked trout burgers (aw 0.97--0.96, pH 6.4). Products were packaged in air and under various modified atmospheres (MAP), and stored at 4 and 12ºC. A microbiological shelf-life of >28 days was possible for the cooked trout burgers and fried wontons stored at 4ºC. In general, the microbiological shelf-life preceded the sensory shelf-life. / Subsequent challenge studies were done to address the safety concerns associated with MAP food. All products were inoculated with 102 CFU/g of Listeria monocytogenes and 102 spores/g of Clostridium botulinum type E spores. Gas packaging with 80% CO2 (balance N2) inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes in products stored at 4ºC. However, counts of L. monocytogenes increased in all other packaging conditions. In challenge studies with C. botulinum type E, toxin was not detected in any products after 28--60 days.
