In order to improve the thawing qualities of fish, a thawing process of high voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) was studied. It was compared with nature thawing on the basis of thawing rate and the fish’s qualities index such as pH, thawing loss, cooking loss and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N). The results showed that the high voltage electrostatic field can improve the thawing rate of fish significantly. Compared with nature thawing, the thawed fish under t HVEF had better qualities such as lower thawing loss and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N). HVEF thawing has advantages, which can be used as a substitute method.

Thawing Rate

Applying high-voltage electric field (HVEF) to some food materials has been shown to increase the thawing rate. To investigate the effect of process parameters and electrode configuration in high-voltage electric field system, we took the frozen tofu as the research object and investigated the influence of the different voltages, electrode configuration, and electrode distances on thawing process. The thawing time, center temperatures, and loss rate of samples were measured. The results showed that the thawing time of frozen tofu decreases with the increase of voltage and the thawing time has a great relevance with configuration and distance of electrodes. The electric parameters have a major effect on thawing loss and thawing time when center temperatures of frozen tofu are from −2°C to 0°C. This work provides clues and experimental basis for the further application of high-voltage electric field thawing technology.

Microbial Status

Sensory, physicochemical and microbiological changes in Moroccan cooked kosher sausages stored at 6°C and 25°C were monitored over 35 days. Kosher sausages were very prone to changes in microbial status, as a result of high pH and water activity-values (aw-values) after processing. After 3 days of storage at 25°C and 1 week at 6°C the microbial colonies increased distinctively. Sensory changes were only detectable after the seventh day at 25°C. At 6°C, these sausages kept their sensorial characteristics. Levels of total volatile basic nitrogen were lower in the kosher sausages at 6°C than in those kept at 25°C. Changes at 25°C affected the quality of kosher sausage and limited the shelf life. From these results it can be concluded that storage at 25°C (ambient temperature) for 3 days or at 6°C (chilling) for 7 days without sensory changes is possible.

We evaluated the effects of Gymnorhynchus gigas on the freshness and hygienic quality of Lepidopus caudatus. Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N), Trimethylamine Nitrogen (TMA-N), as well as Specific Spoilage Organisms (SSOs) are the most important freshness indicators in fish. Our study was carried-out on 65 specimens of L. caudatus kept in ice and stored at 2°C for different period of time. The microbiological charge of SSOs recovered on a portion of parasitised muscles (MP) was compared with those recovered on portions of parasite-free muscles (M). The contents of TVB-N and TMA-N on MP, M, and G. gigas larva/ae were measured using the Conway microdiffusion method. High prevalence (72.31%) of G. gigas in the specimens of L. caudatus from the Mediterranean sea was observed. No statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between M and MP were found during storage. However, massive infestation of G. gigas on the muscle of the silver scabbardfish could negatively influence TVB-N values, without compromising the sensorial characteristic of fish.

ABSTRACT The effect of a low concentration of salt and sugar on the quality and microbial succession in blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) fillets was assessed by sensory analysis, total volatile basic nitrogen, biogenic amines, K value, total viable counts, 16S rRNA gene analysis, and Illumina MiSeq PE300 high-throughput sequencing. Fish samples were left untreated (control), treated with 1.8% salt (T1), or treated with 1.8% salt plus 0.9% sugar (T2). Consequently, salted and sugar-salted treatments extended the shelf life of bream fillets by 2 days, which retarded the increase of total volatile basic nitrogen, putrescine, cadaverine, and total viable counts. The putrescine and cadaverine concentrations of T2 were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than T1 after day 10. Brachybacterium was the major initial microbiota of bream fillets. As storage time progressed, Pseudomonas and Shewanella were major genera in the spoiled control group. Pseudomonas, Shewanella, and Pseudoalteromonas became the main spoilers in the T1 and T2 groups.
