The contribution of autochthonous microflora on free fatty acids release and flavor development in low-salt fermented fish

To investigate the contribution of autochthonous microflora on free fatty acids (FFA) release and flavor development in low-salt fermented fish, three groups of processed fish, including bacteriostatic-acidification group (BAG), bacteriostatic group (BG), and spontaneous fermented fish (CG) were established. Results showed that addition of NaN3 reduced microbial load in BAG and BG below 3.5 log CFU/g after 3 weeks of incubation. Activities of...
