    3 pages, 2 figures, 1 tableChanges in available lysine and protein digestibility which take place during thermal processing of canned white tuna with olive oil were evaluated using a steady-state procedure. Kinetic parameters were then calculated by means of weighted nonlinear regression and the jac!+ procedures. Good agreement was found between predicted and observed values. The resulting kinetic equations can be used to evaluate, design and optimize thermal processing of tuna in oil.This work was supported by a research grant from the ComisiĂłn Interministerial de Ciencia Y TecnologĂ­a (ALI88-0145-C02-02.
