Abstract

    This study was conducted to evaluate the sensory and bacterial content in frigate tuna raw material caught in Khanh Hoa sea, Vietnam and then preserved by oligochitin (1÷3kDa) of 1,0% combined with ice (2±1ºC). Bacterial content evaluation included TPC, Shewanella putrefaciens and Pseudomonas spp of frigate tuna raw material (1000±50 gr/fish). The result showed that sensory quality satisfactory was for 21 days, starting to deteriorate on day 22; TPC was over the standard limit from day 16; Pseudomonas spp exceeded the threshold causing rot, about 2.1x109 cfu/g from day 22; Shewanella putrefaciens exceeded the threshold causing rot, about 1,5x109 cfu/g from day 18. Compared to the samples that was only used ice for preservation: Sensory quality lasted 1.9 times longer; TPC was 1.67; Pseudomonas spp was 1.65; and Shewanella putrefaciens was 1.59 times lower respectively.


Keywords: oligochitin, frigate tuna, sensory evaluation, bacterial content of frigate tuna.
