INHIBITION OF CHEMICAL CHANGES RELATED TO QUALITY LOSS DURING HORSE MACKEREL (Trachurus trachurus) STORAGE IN AN ADVANCED CHIL

چکیده
Slurry ice is a biphasic system consisting of small spherical ice crystals surrounded by seawater at subzero temperature. Its employment was evaluated in the present work as a new chilled storage method for whole horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) and compared with traditional flake icing. Different chemical analyses (nucleotide degradation, lipid hydrolysis and oxidation, interaction compounds formation and electrophoretic protein profiles) related to quality loss were checked and compared to sensory evaluation. An inhibitory effect on quality loss mechanisms was observed for the slurry ice treatment, according to the assessment of the K value, free fatty acid content, thiobarbituric acid index, fluorescent compounds formation and sarcoplasmic protein profiles. The sensory analysis showed a higher shelf-life time for fish treated under slurry icing when compared with flake iced fish (15 days and 5 days, respectively). Results confirm the practical advantages of using slurry ice as a chilling storage method. According to the inhibition of lipid hydrolysis and oxidation obtained, the employment of slurry ice on relatively fat fish species is recommended to obtain safer and higher quality fish products.

QUALITY LOSS RELATED TO RANCIDITY DEVELOPMENT DURING HORSE MACKEREL (Trachurus trachurus) FROZEN STORAGE
The development of rancidity and its effect on quality loss was studied in frozen horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). For that, two different kinds of fish products (whole fish and fillets) were stored at a commercial frozen temperature (-20oC) for up to 12 months and were compared to samples stored at a much low temperature (-80oC). Analyses included: lipid hydrolysis (free fatty acid format...

Gutting handling was applied to fresh horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) to study its effect on rancidity development during the frozen storage (up to 12 months at 20oC). For it, chemical (free fatty acids, FFA; peroxide value, PV; thiobarbituric acid index, TBA-i; fluorescence ratio, FR) and sensory (odour and taste) analyses were carried out. Results showed that gutting treatment of horse m...

Bacteriophages against Serratia as Fish Spoilage Control Technology
Bacteria of the genus Serratia, mainly S. proteamaculans and S. fonticola, are important spoilage agents in Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). In order to evaluate whether bacteriophages against Serratia could delay the spoilage process, 11 viral strains active against this genus were isolated from food and best candidate was applied to fresh mackerel filets. All the phages belong t...
