Abstrakt: The effect of Ultraviolet radiation type C (UV-C) radiation (0.100 ± 0.010 J/cm2) on shelf life ofArapaima gigasfillets stored at 4 ± 1°C for 18 days was investigated. The samples were analyzed for total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB) counts; total aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria (TAPB) counts; Enterobacteriaceae; purge loss; pH; lipid oxidation; total volatile bases (TVB-N); ammonia; biogenic amines (BAs); andL , a , andb values. UV-C radiation increased (P < 0.05) the generation time of all bacterial groups evaluated, increasing the shelf life by 2 days. UV-C-treated fillets showed lower (P < 0.05)L values, purge loss, pH, TVB-N, ammonia, and BAs levels than their control counterparts throughout the storage period. Moreover, UV-C treatment did not result (P > 0.05) in detrimental effects on lipid oxidation ora andb values. UV-C at 0.100 J/cm2demonstrated a good potential for use inA. gigasfillets and, therefore, it could be applied at industrial scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
