Spoilage Investigation of Chill Stored Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) Using Modern Microbiological and Analytical Techniques.

ABSTRACT: Spoilage status of whole and filleted chill-stored meagre caught in January and July was evaluated using sensory, microbiological, 16S metabarcoding and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) analysis. Based on the sensory analysis, shelf-life was 15 and 12 days for the whole fish taken in January and July, respectively, while 7 days for fish fillets of both months. For the whole fish, Total Viable Counts (TVC) at the beginning of storage was 2.90 and 4.73 log cfu/g for fish caught in January and July respectively, while it was found about 3 log cfu/g in fish fillets of both months. The 16S metabarcoding analysis showed different profiles between the two seasons throughout the storage. Pseudomonas (47%) and Psychrobacter (42.5%) dominated in whole meagre of January, while Pseud
