A potential spoilage bacteria inactivation approach on frozen fish.

ABSTRACT: Frozen products are more susceptible to microbial spoilage during thawing. Therefore, the development of a thawing technology with effective bacteriostasis is still urgent in food science. In this study, red sea bream was used as the research object, S. putrefaciens was incubated on the surface of fish fillets, and ultrasound plus high voltage electric field (US&HVEF) was performed to investigate the antibacterial activity. On this basis, the effect of US&HVEF thawing on the quality characteristics of fillets was further studied. The results indicated that US&HVEF showed a better antibacterial performance toward S. putrefaciens, with the lethality of 96.73%. Furthermore, US&HVEF could minimize thawing loss, preserve fillets texture, stabilize the secondary and tertiary confor
