Effect of previous chilled storage on rancidity development in frozen horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus)
2002
Aubourg, Santiago P. | Lehmann, Ines | Gallardo, Jose M.
Rancidity development during frozen storage (−20 °C) of an underutilised medium-fat-content fish species, horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), was studied. Special attention was given to the effect of previous chilled storage (0, 1, 3 and 5 days) on the quality of the frozen fish. For this, chemical (free fatty acid and conjugated diene contents; peroxide value, PV; thiobarbituric acid index, TBA-i; fluorescent compound formation) and sensory (rancid odour and taste) analyses were carried out. Hydrolytic rancidity showed an increase with frozen storage time; however, no effect of previous chilling time was observed on the frozen product. Oxidative rancidity measured by chemical (PV, TBA-i and fluorescence) and sensory (odour and taste) indices increased with frozen storage time and also with previous chilling time. Satisfactory quality was maintained up to 7 months of frozen storage of horse mackerel provided that a short chilling time (not longer than 3 days) was employed.
