Summary

The relative importance of these two phenomena on spoilage of smoked salmon during storage was determined, along with the mechanisms of formation of hypoxanthine, acetic acid, trimethylamine and total volatile bases. The microbial activity is reponsible for odour and flavour deficiencies in salmon, while autolytic enzymes of tissues have a strong influence on texture deterioration. Links are being sought between chemical composition and the microflora of smoked salmon.
