Abstract
In the present study, the effect of storage in slurry ice compared to
conventional flake ice (control) on the quality of croaker (Johnius dussumieri)
fish was evaluated. Biochemical, microbiological, and sensory analyses
were performed. Total volatile base nitrogen, trimethylamine nitrogen,
and pH values were lower for fish stored in slurry ice than in control.
Similarly, aerobic plate count and Pseudomonas sp. count were also found
at lower population levels in fish stored in slurry ice. Texture profile analysis
revealed that fish stored in slurry ice showed improved texture. Based on
the microbiological and sensory analysis, the shelf life of croaker fish stored
in slurry ice was 15 days.
