Combined effect of modified atmosphere packaging and polyphosphate dips on hake slices during ice storage.

Summary

The effects of modified atmosphere packaging alone and combined with polyphosphate dips on ice-stored hake slices were studied by determination of a number of parameters: pH, trimethylamine and total volatile bases contents, total viable count, weight loss and water binding capacity. Ice storage under modified atmosphere conditions were effective for stabilization of pH, trimethylamine and total volatile bases contents and inhibition of bacterial growth. Use of polyphosphates in fish seems to reduce total viable count slightly and causes decreases in exudate losses to similar levels to those of air-stored control samples.
