“…Basic amines generation such as alkaline volatile amines by spoilage bacteria is likely reason for increase in pH, although the increased psychrotrophic bacterial counts could be also contributed in this regard (Debevere & Bosku, 1996;Manju, Jose, Srinivasa Gopal, Ravishankar, & Lalitha, 2007;Masniyom, Soottawat, & Visessanguan, 2005;Reddy, Villanueva & Kautter, 1995) Furthermore, the increased values of pH are in conformity with the increased TVB-N mostly composed of alkaline volatile amines (Hyytia, Hielm, Mokkila, Kinnunen, & Korkeala, 1999). It was reported in Tio2 nanocomposites treatment that psychrotrophic bacterial counts were reduced in conformity with the pH values.…”
