Popis: This study was aimed at investigating the effect of including a mixture of natural organic acids (citric, ascorbic and lactic) in the icing medium employed during the chilled storage of horse mackerel ( Trachurus trachurus ). To this end, two aqueous solutions including 0.005% and 0.020% (w/v) of each acid (P-1 and P-2 conditions, respectively) were employed as icing systems. The effects on lipid damage development in fish muscle were monitored for up to a 13- day storage period; complementary chemical quality and sensory acceptance analyses were carried out. According to peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance assessment, a slight inhibitory effect was concluded as a result of the acid mixture present in the chilling medium. At the same time, P-2-treated fish showed a longer shelf life than their counterparts belonging to P-1 and control conditions. No effect of the acid presence in the icing system could be outlined on the nucleotide degradation or the free fatty acid formation.
