Shelf life of new culture specie (Diplodus puntazzo) in refrigerator

The shelf life of sharp snout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo) stored in refrigerator was investigated by measurement of sensory, chemical (total volatile basic nitrogen [TVB-N], trimethylamine [TMA-N], thiobarbituric acid [TBA] and pH) and microbiological (total viable and psychrophilic count) analysis. According to the sensory and chemical analysis results evaluated, the shelf life of sharp snout sea bream was detected as 10 days for storage at refrigeration temperatures, respectively, as compared with 8 days of sensory analysis results. © 2008, Blackwell Publishing
