The effect of high pressure processing (HPP) pre-treatments at three pressure levels (150, 300 and 450 MPa) and holding times (0, 2.5 and 5 min) on the activity of key enzymes in Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) muscle was studied after HPP treatments and during frozen storage. Acid phosphatase, cathepsins (B...
The assessment of enzymatic activity on Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) during frozen storage was carried out in samples pre-treated by high pressure processing (HPP) combinations of 150, 300 and 450 MPa with 0, 2.5 and 5 min holding time (untreated samples were used as controls). The activities of four...
This work sought to determine high pressure processing (HPP) effects on the activity of cathepsins B and D in the muscle of mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). In mackerel, the cathepsin B activity decrease reached 40% at 450 MPa while in horse mackerel, low and intermediate pressures...
This work focused on assessing lipid damage during the storage of frozen Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) subjected to a high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (150, 300, 450 MPa with holding times of 0.0, 2.5, and 5.0 min) prior to freezing. The extent of lipid hydrolysis (free fatty acids) and oxidation...
Frozen storage of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) is limited by lipid damage causing sensory quality losses. This work deals with changes in functional and sensory properties during frozen storage of horse mackerel treated by high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP) prior to freezing. Three levels of pressure (150, 300, and 450...
This work focuses on the effect of a previous high pressure processing (HPP) on the lipid damage development occurring during the frozen storage (-10ºC; up to 3 months) of Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). HPP conditions included different pressure (150, 300, 450 MPa) and pressure holding time (0.0, 2.5, 5.0...
The frozen storage of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is limited by lipid damage causing sensory quality losses, an important drawback to its commercialisation. This work deals with changes in functional and sensory properties during freezing and frozen storage of Atlantic mackerel pre-treated by high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP). Three levels...
This research focuses on biochemical changes related to quality losses observed in Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) muscle stored under commercial frozen storage conditions (9 months, -18 ºC) when subjected to high-hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatments (125, 150, 175 and 200 MPa for 0 min) before freezing. After freezing, free fatty acid...
Climate change has been observed to have a significant impact on the distribution of aquatic species and productivity of aquaculture systems across the globe. This affects the level of food production, the livelihoods of communities that depend on fisheries and aquaculture, and the future sustainability of these sectors. As in...
