Hi skipjack,

Yr query is a little specilaised.

There are a few people here who work in the canned fish business but may have to wait a little.

From memory, the Munsel system is a standardised technique, should be available in textbooks ?

Does the FDA method you mention not specify the procedure ? Or is it the procedure you are seeking ?

IMEX canned foods, the net drained weight is typically just a question of opening/tilting the can and letting drain for specific time followed by weighing and subtracting average can weight. Not exactly high-tech. i recall there is a standard AOAC methodology also.

Hi skipjack,
