Abstract
ABSTRACTChanges in chemical parameters of tropical fish used for surimi production—namely, threadfin bream (TB; Nemipterus spp.), lizardfish (LZ; Saurida spp.), and goatfish (GF; Upeneus spp.)—during ice storage and their respective washed mince were investigated. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine (TMA), hypoxanthine (Hx), and total biogenic amine (BA) content of mince increased with storage time. Crude protein of fish and their respective washed mince reduced as storage time of fish was prolonged. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that washed mince produced from fish stored in ice for 7–12 days showed chemical characteristics that were distinct from those of washed mince prepared from spoiled fish. The TMA, TVB-N, and Hx content of washed mince appeared to be sufficient raw material freshness indicators in these three species.
