The influence of a biologically inert protective coating on the basis of low-esterified pectin substances (LEPS) on the qualitative indicators of frozen fish and its lipids is studied in this paper: organoleptic, physico-chemical, structural-mechanical and biochemical changes in fish of various methods of freezing during 240 days of cold storage. The limiting periods of storage of a silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) of different ways of freezing are established. The prolongation of the shelf life of refrigeration and the higher quality indices of frozen fish with the use of a protective coating based on low-esterified pectin substances is due to the reduction of shrinkage and inhibition of hydrolytic decomposition and oxidative damage of lipids by preventing the contact of the surface of frozen fish with oxygen in the air. In addition, when freezing fish in a calcium chloride solution, the LEPS-based coatings exhibit barrier properties, preventing the diffusion of calcium ions into the muscle tissue of the product. Such a mechanism of influence on the duration of fish storage of various methods of freezing during prolonged cold storage allows to obtain frozen fish with high quality indices and to substantially reduce losses during refrigerated storage.

AbstractApplication of cold storage temperatures below optimum induces a high risk and threat of chilling injury (CI) in the case of sensitive commodities. Sweet pepper belongs to this group of vegetables, so our main objective was to investigate and monitor the effect of non-optimal temperatures (2.5 and 5 °C) induced stress (chilling injury) on kápia type sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) during its postharvest storage by nondestructive quality measuring methods. Fresh, semi-matured (reddish-green colored) samples of ‘Kapitány F1’ cultivar were stored at 2.5, 5 and 10 °C for 7 d followed by 7 d shelf-life. Nondestructive texture measurements were carried out by a purpose built tabletop acoustic stiffness device. Surface color and chlorophyll content related quality indices were evaluated by a chroma meter, a DA-meter® and a chlorophyll fluorescence imaging system. High resolution digital pictures were captured and analyzed for possible CI defects by means of surface color values (normalized RGB, hue and saturation). According to our results, the evaluated quality indices (DA-index®, acoustic stiffness coefficient, surface color parameters; F0, Fm, Fv and Fv/Fm chlorophyll fluorescence parameters) clearly represented the temperature dependent quality changes during low temperature storage, subsequently followed by ambient shelf-life. Samples stored under and at 5 °C showed the chilling temperature stressed symptoms of delayed and partly retarded postharvest ripening, even under simulated shelf-life conditions, but without the onset and manifestation of the characteristic visible symptoms of chilling injury. This may raise doubts and suggest possible future research areas regarding the role of non-optimal cold storage temperatures induced stress, the effect of chilling injury contributing factors and consequences.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of application of acetic acid and ascorbic acid spray on the surface decontamination and shelf-life of silver carp fish at refrigerated temperature (40C) during 9 days of storage period. Silver carp is one of the most abundant freshwater fish speciesin the world. However, the rapid quality degradation soon after post-mortem makes them highly putrefactive while reducing the nutritional attributes. In this regard, our study aimed at applying organic acids to extend shelf-life of silver carp fish while investigating the quality attributes such as sensory, peroxide values, pH and microbial loads of the fish fillets during 9 days of refrigerated temperature storage (40C). Acetic acid and ascorbic acid are found to have strong antibacterial activities against different microorganisms. Fish fillets samples were treated with alone or in combination with acetic acid and ascorbic acid spray while keeping one group of fish fillets untreated. Total Viable Count (TVC) was found greater in the samples kept untreated and treated alone with acetic acid and ascorbic acid. However, fish fillets treated with acetic acid and ascorbic acid in combination were reported with lesser number of microbial counts. Moreover, Peroxide Value (PV) and pH were significantly lower in the sample treated with in combination of acetic acid and ascorbic acid. Sensory analysis revealed that fish fillets treated with combined treatment had better quality retention at the end of 9 days storage period. The findings suggest that the application of acetic acid and ascorbic acid alone or in different combination have the potential to decrease microbial loads while facilitating the shelf-life of fish fillets during 9 days of refrigerated temperature (40C) storage period.
