Summary

A 2% addition of salt to ice increased the shelf-life of sardines and mackerel by 25% over icing alone. At this proportion, organoleptic properties below the limit of acceptability were not affected as compared to control samples. Previously recommended parameters for chemical and bacteriological analyses for icing alone were shown to be valid for testing sardines and mackerel stored in a combination of salt and ice. The addition of salt to ice significantly decreases the production of amines. A concentration of 2% of salt is recommended to increase the storage life of sardines and mackerel.
