ResumenEl objeto del presente trabajo fue estudiar la influencia de la temperatura sobre la frescura de la caballa (Scomber japonicus) asociada con los cambios químicos y los atributos organolépticos de los ejemplares conservados en diferentes condiciones. La calidad del pescado se determinó por evaluación sensorial mientras que la inocuidad se estableció midiendo el contenido de histamina a 6 ºC durante una semana realizando el muestreo después de transcurridos uno, tres, cinco y siete días en condiciones de refrigeración. A la temperatura ambiente de 20 ºC el muestreo se efectuó diariamente durante tres días. Las caballas refrigeradas superaron los niveles aceptables de histamina al tercer día antes de ser rechazadas por los panelistas sensoriales. Cuando las muestras se mantuvieron a temperatura ambiente alcanzaron niveles peligrosos de histamina al segundo día en coincidencia con el rechazo determinado por el panel de evaluación sensorial.Palabras clave: histamina, caballa, Scomber japonicus, refrigeración, evaluación sensorial. Influence of Storage Temperature on Histamine Formation in Mackerel (Scomber japonicus) AbstractThe aim of the present work was to study the influence of storage temperature on the freshness of mackerel (Scomber japonicus) associated with chemical changes and organoleptic attributes of the samples maintained under different environmental conditions. Fish quality was assessed by sensory evaluation while safety was determined through histamine development during refrigerated storage at 6 ºC during a week, sampling for analysis after periods of one, three, five and seven days. At room temperature of 20 ºC samples were analyzed daily during three days. Refrigerated mackerel became unsafe for human consumption, reaching unacceptable histamine levels after three days, before being rejected by the sensory panel. At room temperature samples were discarded due to their high histamine content on the second day, in agreement with the rejection decision of the sensory evaluation panel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
