Popis: The inhibitory effects of 2.5 g/kg lactic acid, 30 g/kg whey permeate, 20 g/kg sodium chloride and their combinations on the total aerobic counts of minced fish were studied. Whey permeate was produced by a nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis strain. The applicability of lactic acid and whey permeate as bio-preservatives was also studied through the use of quantitative sensory profiling techniques. Bacterial growth in minced fish stored at +3 °C for 4, 7 and 10 d was inhibited effectively in samples that contained a combination of lactic acid, sodium chloride and/or whey permeate. Lactic acid enhanced fishy flavour, metallic flavour, astringency and sourness as found in minced fish but whey permeate did not affect any of the characteristics investigated.
