Abstract
Scad (Decapterus sp.) is a popular alternative to Rastrelliger sp. and Selaroides leptolepis and is typically sold from morning until evening. An investigation was conducted to determine the organoleptic and chemical parameters of fresh Scad sold in the market. Fresh Scad were sampled at 06:00 am (0 hours peddled), at midday (6 hours peddled), and at 06:00 pm (12 hours peddled). The fishes were sampled randomly and brought to the Fishery Product Technology Laboratory at the Faculty of Fishery and Marine Science, Pattimura University. Sensory and laboratory analyses were carried out covering organoleptic test, pH, and total volatile base (TVB). At 06.00 am, the organoleptic score was 9, pH was 5.7, and TVB was 15 mg/100g. At noon, the organoleptic score was 8, pH was 6, and TVB was 24 mg/100g, while at 6.00 pm, the organoleptic score was 6; pH was 6.8; TVB was 33.5 mg/100g. The findings concluded that the fresh Scad started deteriorating after 12 hours of peddling.
