Summary

Sodium acetate either alone or combined with bifidobacteria, extended refrigerated shelf-life of catfish fillets at 4 deg C. Sodium acetate and bifidobacteria reduced counts more than either alone, extending shelf-life by 3 days. Amount of culture (1.5-4.5%) or culture age (24-72 hours) had no effect on inhibition. Treated fillets odour and appearance resembled fresh fillets for up to 6 days, while untreated fillets were unacceptable after 3 days.
