Summary

Post mortem changes of rainbow trout and sea bass quality were evaluated from the decomposition products of ATP, using the freshness index [(inosine + hypoxanthine)/(inosine-5’-monophosphate + inosine + hypoxanthine)] in muscle. of muscle juice of sixty rainbow trout and seventy sea bass, maintained at 18°C, at 4°C and at 4°C in ice, were determined every 24 h from slaughter, using a xanthine oxidase biosensor system. % rapidly increased within the first hours in fish maintained at 18°C, particularly with rainbow trout where at 24 h post mortem K, % reached 81, while with sea bass it only reached at about 46 Kf remained at around 30% in rainbow trout or below 20% in sea bass after the first day at 4°C. The limit of 40% was reached by the second day in rainbow trout but only in the sixth day in sea bass. Fish stored at 4°C in ice were over 40% by the third day in rainbow trout and only by the ninth day in sea bass. According to organoleptic parameters, the limit of 40% above which fish is not suitable for human consumption could be raised for Western countries.
