The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP: 80%CO2/20%O2) and chitosan (CS: 10.0g/L) on the shelf-life of pomfret (Pampus argenteus) fillets during chilled storage were studied. Quality assessment was based on biochemical (total viable counts (TVC), total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), tri-methylamine (TMA-N), K-value, pH value) and sensory analysis indices determination. The results showed that MAP and CS could keep the sensory quality of Pampus argenteus, delay its deteriorating speeds and slow down the increase of K-value effectively. Compared with the control samples, the shelf-life of pomfret samples in MAP and CS stored at 4±1°C were 10, 12d respectively.

Effects of active modified atmosphere packaging (initial O2/CO2: 5/5; 30/5; and 80/0) and passive packaging [initial O2/CO2: 20.8/0 (air)] on the antioxidant capacity and sensory quality of fresh-cut ‘Yaoshan’ pear stored at 4 °C for 12 days were investigated. Samples stored in high O2 (30% and 80%) packages had higher phenolics and anthocyanin contents compared with those in passive and low O2 packages. After 12 days of storage, phenolics and anthocyanin contents of 80% O2 samples were 2.5 and 12 times, respectively, higher than those in the passive package and 3 and 2 times higher than those in low O2 package. High O2 modified atmosphere packaging was effective in keeping free radical scavenging capacity as measured by the DPPH assay. The sensory evaluation indicated that surface color of cut fruits were stable for at least 12 days in the high O2 modified atmosphere packaging. The results suggested that high O2 modified atmosphere packaging could be used to inhibit browning and prolong the shelf life of fresh-cut ‘Yaoshan’ pears in spite of more than 50% loss in vitamin C content.

In this study, the pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) amounts, total viable counts (TVC) of microbial flora, and the sensory quality of liquid-smoked tilapia fillets were analyzed under different storage conditions. Lengthy storage caused, the smoked flavor to disappear and juice seeped from the samples. Over time, it was found that the pH of the products decreased and then subsequently increased, whilst the amount of TVB-N showed an overall increasing trend. Under all storage conditions tested, the TVC of microbial flora slowly increased, followed by a sharp increase, and then stabilized. These results showed that vacuum-packed products stored at low temperatures were highly stable; hence this storage method can effectively guarantee the quality of liquid-smoked tilapia fillets and the extension of the shelf life.
