This study investigates biogenic amine development (BA) vs. sensory, chemical and
microbiological quality loss of anchovy (Engraulis
encrasicolus) at three different chilled storage conditions which are
commonly applied for fresh market and/storage prior to processing. The
contents of BAs and sensory, chemical and microbiological quality parameters of
anchovy were analysed daily during storage. Significant variations occurred
(p<0.05) in the sensory, chemical and microbiological values among the
storage groups. The highest shelf-life was found as 8 days for samples kept in
chilled freshwater. Water-ice mix application
resulted in lower TBA content indicating beneficial effect on its quality. Histamine results closely supported sensory values in
terms of legally permitted levels set by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Histamine forming bacteria counts supported the formation of histamine
in most groups while total bacteria counts were in agreement with sensory results in
terms of acceptability. Moreover, some existing formulated indexes created from various
BA levels were not found suitable to estimate spoilage degree of anchovy kept
at these conditions. This
study suggests that using ice and water-ice mix can improve shelf-life of
anchovy stored at refrigerated temperatures in terms of food quality and
safety. The results of this study can be used to
guide seafood industry for testing fresh anchovy quality and safety at
different chilled conditions.
