Abstrakt: Quality characteristics of black-skipjack (Euthynnus lineatus) muscle kept in ice were evaluated by monitoring changes in chemical, microbiological, and sensory parameters over a 24-d storage period. The K value increased linearly (r² = 0.966) from < 20% before d 3 to 75% at d 18. Muscle pH fluctuated between 5.7 to 6.0. Histamine did not exceed 50 ppm, while putrescine and cedaverine were < 40 ppm. Lipid deterioration was rather low with TBA values of 5 mg/100g at d 18. Descriptive sensorial evaluation indicated excellent-to-good attributes at d 6 and good-to-acceptable at d 18. Sensory assessment and K value gave the highest correlation with storage time, indicating a shelf life of 18 d. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
