Abstract

Improving the sensory quality of fish meat is crucial aspect to enhance fish consumption. In this study, the cooking methods in some Anatolian cities where common carp is consumed very popularly were investigated, and carp meat was marinated using different ratios of lemon juice (0.00%, 40.00%, 50.00%, and 60.00%) and salt (10.00%) using the traditional method. After marinating, the effects on the sensory, chemical, and microbiological quality of carp fillets stored at −18 °C were investigated. As a result of the research, it was observed that lemon had positive effects on the shelf life of fish meat. Peroxide value (PV), pH value, Thiobarbituric Acid (TBARS), the total number of psychrophilic bacteria, and the total number of yeast and molds were lower in the groups marinated with lemon juice and salt compared to the control group. In addition, it was observed that the panelists liked the carp meat of the groups marinated with lemon juice.
