Inactivation of anisakis larva using pulsed power technology and quality evaluation of horse mackerel meat treated with pulsed power

Abstract Anisakis is a parasite that found in many marine products and can cause anisakiasis when present fish consumed raw. The most common way to prevent freeze the fish, but this causes noticeable decrease quality of eaten as sashimi. Although no practical method killing anisakis other than freezing has been found, we have now succeeded inactivating inside meat by repeatedly instantaneously applying electric current using pulsed power technology. was placed buffer saltwater, applied multiple times. immobilization rate highest saltwater 5 mS/cm. immobility ratio increased number shots increased. Sensory evaluation after pulse treatment confirmed it retained its Breaking tests color measurements were also conducted. We believe useful alternative for anisakis.
