The microbial and sensory quality of mackerel hot smoked in mild conditions

Abstract

The quality indices of Atlantic mackerel, hot smoked at core temperature not exceeding 60°C, containing 14–27 g salt and 580–670 g water per kg meat, was determined just after smoking and during storage. The aerobic plate count after smoking, chilling and packing in cardboard boxes was 0–12 cfu/25 cm2of the skin of the smoked fish and 10–240 cfu/g of flesh. It was 1.9 log cycle lower than that in the frozen raw material. At 2°C, the bacterial count on the fish surface and in the meat remained unchanged for at least 3 wk. At 8°C after 14 d, the cfu in the meat of smoked fish ranged from 1.8×102to 1.6×107/g. The total count on the skin and just under the skin did not increase up to 21 d at 2 and 8°C. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean values of all evaluated sensory attributes of the smoked fish stored up to 2 wk at 2 and 8°C. These results regard products from a smoking plant of very high hygienic standard, fulfilling all EC requirements, with quality assurance system based on HACCP.
