BACKGROUND Preservative effect of melanin-free extract of Sepia esculenta ink (MFESI) on Sparus latus fillet has been verified in our previous work. This study aims to further approach the mechanism of MFESI for extending the shelf-life of fish fillet during cold storage. Tilapia fillets were treated with different dosage of MFESI (0, 15, 25 and 35 mg/ml) and packed with preservative film for s...

one of the most important problems of fish is the short shelf lifebecause of the high unsaturated fatty acids. so, with the help of antioxidant compounds can be increased shelf life of fish. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin e as a natural antioxidant to increase shelf life of rainbow trout fillet during storage at refrigerator temperature (4±1 0c). treatments were ...

In recent years, the use of edible coatings as a carrier of food additives and antimicrobial compounds in fishery products has been considered. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of 2% chitosan coating singly or combined with 0.1% grape seed extract (GSE) on microbial (mesophilic and psychrophilic count), chemical (TBA, pH and PV) and sensorial properties of rainbow trout fillet...

Bacteriophage Listex P100 (phage P100) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service for Listeria monocytogenes control on both raw and ready-to-eat food products. In this article, we present the proof of concept on the influence of phage dose, phage contact time, and storage temperature on the listericidal activity...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chitosan coatings, oregano essential oil, and their combination on microbial quality of chicken fillet during 12 days in refrigerator temperature. Methods: Oregano oil was extracted by water distillation and then different concentrations of oregano oil (1% and 2%) were used for film preparation. Microbiological tests were carri...

nowadays, using natural preservatives than synthetic ones is increasing. the present study was aimed to compare the effect of thyme (zataria multiflora boiss), onion (allium cepa) and ziziphora clinopodioides extracts on shelf-life extending of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) salted, vacuum packaged fillet, kept at 4°c. for this purpose fish filets were kept in 4 treatment: salted in brine ...

fish finger is a semi-prepared product of fish that many studies have been done to improve its texture, taste, flavor and color. the present study aims at investigating the quality and sensory characteristics of fish fingers produced from fillet and surimi of common carp during storage in refrigerator. fish fingers were packed and then stored in refrigerator (4 °c). chemical parameters (fat con...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of polyvinyl chloride vacuum packaging(170 micron thickness) on omega 3 and omega 6 contents of carp fillet at -18 ° c during 180 day storage. the tests were done with the use of gas chromatography. total content of w6 in fresh fish was 18.21%. after 180 day storage the amount of w6 in control sample changed to 14.85% but for vacuumed fill...

Fillet portions of freshly landed Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, were either directly stored in ice or frozen for a briefperiod, thawed, and then stored in ice to determine and compare subsequent shelf lives so a retailer handling both products could be cognizant of the comparative per­ ishability of both product treatments. The frozen-thawed portions were found to have as long or a slightly longe...

the inhibition of pathogens growth as well as the shelf-life extension of seafood as a perishable product using safe methods is one of the most important issues that have been attracted fisheries and food science researcher’s attention. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of bunium persicum essential oil (eo) on inoculated listeria monocytogenes growth in simulated b...
