Microbial activity inhibition in chilled mackerel (Scomber scombrus) by employment of an organic acid-icing system.

High Pressure Effects on the Activities of Cathepsins B and D of Mackerel and Horse Mackerel Muscle

Fidalgo L.G., Saraiva J.A., Aubourg S.P., Vázquez M., Torres J.A. (2014): High pressure effects on the activities of cathepsins B and D of mackerel and horse mackerel muscle. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 188–193. We determined high pressure processing (HPP) effects on the activities of cathepsins B and D in the muscles of mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). In macke...

INHIBITION OF CHEMICAL CHANGES RELATED TO QUALITY LOSS DURING HORSE MACKEREL (Trachurus trachurus) STORAGE IN AN ADVANCED CHIL

Slurry ice is a biphasic system consisting of small spherical ice crystals surrounded by seawater at subzero temperature. Its employment was evaluated in the present work as a new chilled storage method for whole horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) and compared with traditional flake icing. Different chemical analyses (nucleotide degradation, lipid hydrolysis and oxidation, interaction compoun...

Taxonomic review of Argentine mackerel Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) by phylogenetic analysis

Taxonomically, Argentine mackerels were first considered as Scomber japonicus marplatensis and later as Scomber japonicus Houttuyn 1782, although, in the last years, different studies have suggested that South Atlantic mackerel species belongs to Scomber colias Gmelin 1789. These latter results, incorporated in the main fish databases (FishBase and Catalog of Fishes), promoted a phylogenetic st...

RANCIDITY DEVELOPMENT DURING MACKEREL (Scomber scombrus) FROZEN STORAGE: EFFECT OF CATCHING SEASON AND COMMERCIAL PRESENTATION

Differential population structuring of two closely related fish species, the mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and the chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), in the Mediterranean Sea.

Population genetic structures of the mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were studied in the Mediterranean Sea. Fragments of 272 bp (S. scomber) and 387 bp (S. japonicus) of the 5'-end of the mitochondrial control region were sequenced from spawning individuals collected off the coasts of Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. High levels of mitochondrial control regi...
