In order to study the effect of natural plant essential oil on the fishy smell and refrigeration quality of surimi products, silver carp surimi was treated with 2 mL/100 g coriander essential oil, 2 mL/100 g garlic essential oil, 1 mL/100 g coriander essential oil with 1 mL/100 g garlic
essential oil, respectively. The deodorization and preservation effects of coriander and garlic essential oil on frozen surimi products were analyzed by means of electronic nose, sensory evaluation, whiteness, texture, total colonies, volatile base total nitrogen (TVB-N), water holding capacity
and NMR detection. The results showed that coriander and garlic essential oils could effectively reduce the fishy smell of surimi products, significantly inhibit the growth of microorganisms, reduce the oxidation of protein and water loss in surimi, and improve the quality of surimi products
during cold storage. However, 2 mL/100 g coriander essential oil could affect the color of surimi products, the results showed that adding 2 mL/100 g garlic essential oil or 1 mL/100 g coriander essential oil with 1 mL/100 g garlic essential oil could reduce the fishy smell of surimi products,
improve their refrigeration quality and prolong shelf life.
