Ocean-ranched and farm-reared Atlantic salmon were compared on the basis of compositional and functional/mechanical properties of the raw and the corresponding smoked muscle. Several procedures based on different salting methods (brine and dry salting) and smoking temperature (20 °C and 30 °C) were tested, as well as an electrostatic smoking method. Also, raw material samples were studied without and with frozen storage (-20 °C) for 30 d prior to salting/smoking, and the effect of frozen storage on the smoked muscle was evaluated. The electrostatic method induced considerably lower shear force values than the other smoking treatments. Ocean-ranched salmon were more susceptible to protein aggregation and loss of binding properties (water and fat) than farmed fish as a consequence of frozen storage of the raw material or smoking treatment.
