Abstract
In this study, the microbiological, physicochemical, and flavor changes of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) coated with a composite active coating of locust bean gum (LBG) and sodium alginate (SA) supplemented with daphnetin emulsions (0.16, 0.32, 0.64 mg·mL−1) were determined during 18 days of refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C). Results showed that LBG-SA coatings containing 0.32 mg·mL−1 daphnetin emulsions could significantly lower the total viable count (TVC), psychrophiles, Pseudomonas spp. and H2S-producing bacteria counts, and inhibit the productions of off-flavor compounds including the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine (TMA) and ATP-related compounds. 32 volatile compounds were identified by solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometer method (SPME-GC/MS) during refrigerated storage and the treated turbot samples significantly lowered the relative content of fishy flavor compounds. Further, the LBG-SA coatings containing daphnetin could also delay the myofibril degradation of the turbot samples. These results indicated that the LBG-SA coatings with 0.32 mg·mL−1 daphnetin were a potential alternative way to improve the quality of turbot during refrigerated storage.
