Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide a reference for avoiding the quality loss of large yellow croaker in cold chain transportation. The effects of retention time before freezing and temperature fluctuation caused by transshipment in logistics were evaluated by TVB-N, K value, TMA value, BAs, FAAs content and protein-related characteristics. The results showed that the retention would lead to the rapid increase of TVB-N, K value, and TMA value. And the temperature fluctuation would further lead to deterioration of these indicators. We concluded that the influence of retention time was far greater than that of temperature fluctuation. In addition, the bitter free amino acids (FAAs) were highly correlated with the freshness-related indicators, which could reflect the freshness changes of samples, especially the quantity of histidine. Therefore, it is suggested to freeze samples immediately after catching and try to avoid temperature fluctuations during cold chain to maintain the quality.
