Effects of Pediococcus spp. on the Quality of Vacuum-Packed Horse Mackerel during Cold Storage
Abstract
Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus, Linnaeus 1758) fillets were inoculated with bacteriocin-like metabolite
producer (Group A) and non-producer (Group B) strains of Pediococcus spp. (7 log CFU g-1), then samples were
vacuum packaged and stored (4°C 10 days-1). pH values did not display differences between the groups (P>0.05).
TVB-N and TMA-N values, total mesophilic and psychrophilic aerobic bacteria counts of all groups (Control, A and
B) increased rapidly (TVB-N: 30.15, 33.86, 34.65 mg 100g-1; TMA-N: 11.63, 13.07, 13.20 mg 100g-1; mesophilic
aerobic bacteria: 6.02, 6.30, 5.94 log CFU g-1; psychrophilic aerobic bacteria: 6.30, 6.24, 6.09 log CFU g-1), and
exceeded the limits at the 2nd day of storage. However, sensory scores of the inoculated samples were higher than
that of the controls during the storage. Sensory qualities of group A and B samples were acceptable until the 6th day,
while control samples spoiled at the 4th day. Therefore, it was concluded that sensory quality of treated samples were
better, but Pediococcus strains used in this study were not proper for preserving horse mackerel fillets especially at
low storage temperatures.
