| Summary: | <b> Aim:</b> This study was carried out to determine microbiological
quality characteristics of Bonito Fish (Sarda sarda) stored
at different temperatures.<p>
<b> Materials and Methods:</b> In this study; Bonito fishes obtained
from Giresun, were stored at 0°C, 2°C and 4°C as their
internal organs were removed and unremoved. Microbial
quality characteristics of Bonito fish were investigated microbiologically
by counting total mesophilic aerobic bacteria
count (TMAB), total psychrophilic aerobic bacteria count
(TPAB), Enterobacteriaceae spp. bacteria count of experimental
samples at the beginning (day 0), days 3, 5 and 7 of
the preservation period.<p>
<b> Results:</b> Less microbial growth was observed in the samples
whose internal organs removed than stored as a whole, kept
at different temperatures in refrigerator conditions. However,
they lost the property of being consumable on the 5th
day when samples were kept as a whole according to TMAB
values, and it was found that level of consumption exceeded
on the 7th day when samples kept at 0°C and 2°C, and on 5th
day when samples kept at 4°C for samples whose internal organs
removed.<p>
<b> Conclusions:</b> Existing microorganisms in the environment
causes the primary infection in the intestinal contents, gills,
and skin of the fish; while seconder infection may occur during
transport, processing and marketing period. This may
result in deterioration of fish and foodborne poisoning. From
a microbiological point of view, quality is an important issue
for aquatic products because of their easy degradability. For
this reason, all phases starting from the fish hunting stages
to the procurement of the consumer must be carefully examined
and inspected. |
