Effect of Physicochemical Characteristics and Storage Atmosphere on Microbiological Stability and Shelf-Life of Minimally Processed European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Fillets. Foods 2023; 12:foods12061145. [PMID: 36981071 PMCID: PMC10048387 DOI: 10.3390/foods12061145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of various hurdles such as aw and pH as well as the storage atmosphere on the microbiological and sensory changes of minimally processed (lightly brined or marinated with acetic or citric acid) European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fillets. The results indicated that the shelf-life of brined fillets stored aerobically was 6 d while that of vacuum and MAP-stored was 12 d, since a reduced growth rate of spoilage bacteria was recorded. The physicochemical characteristics such as aw and water phase salt (WPS) were not considerably changed, while the oxygen levels into the packages ensure the microbiological safety of the product. The fillets marinated with acetic acid exhibited a longer shelf-life at 30 and 40 d under aerobic and reduced oxygen conditions, respectively, while the products marinated with citric acid were at 25 and 35 d respectively. A low pH resulted in reduced or even limited microbial levels, especially for the fillets marinated with acetic acid; something that ensures microbiological safety as well. The low or limited microbial levels in conjugation with the sensory attributes indicated that spoilage may be due to other mechanisms such as autolysis rather than microbial activity. Overall, the present work highlights the potential for further research and development of minimally processed, microbiologically safe and stable with extended shelf-life value added seafood to satisfy the corresponding consumer demands.

Abstract
The sustainability of fishery is a global challenge due to overfishing and reduced stocks all over the world; one of the leading factors of this threat is fish loss/waste. As a contribution to the global efforts towards a sustainable world, this review addresses the topic from different sides and proposes an overview of biorefinery approaches by discussing bioactive compounds that could be produced from fish loss (nitrogen compounds, lipids, minerals and pigments, and fish-based compounds such as chitosan). The second part of this review reports on the possibility of using loss or unwanted fish to design products for human consumption or for animal feeding, with a focus on economic criteria, consumers’ segmentation, and some examples of products. The final focus is on Food and Agriculture Organization FAO guidelines as a roadmap for the future with respect to solving this threat by addressing the problem from different sides (technology, skills, market, policy, social and gender equity, and infrastructures).
