通过建立和应用质量指数法(quality index method,QIM),结合挥发性盐基氮(total volatile base nitrogen,TVB-N)值、K值、质构、菌落总数值等指标综合评价冷藏大菱鲆的新鲜度,并确定其货架期。结果显示:综合感官评分(quality index,QI)值与贮藏时间(t)之间呈较高的线性关系,回归方程为QI=1.175t-0.395(R2=0.988 4),该方程对冷藏大菱鲆剩余货架期的预测误差约为1 d(0.816)。贮藏15 d时,QI值达18.28,各感官指标均达到感官拒绝期;此时,TVB-N值、K值和菌落总数值分别达到31.34 mg N/100 g、72.24%和6.45(lg(CFU/g)),均已经达到货架期终点的参考限定标准。QIM评价结果与鲜度指标具有良好的一致性,适用于大菱鲆货架期的研究和鲜度的快速评价,4℃冷藏大菱鲆的货架期为15 d。
In this article, the freshness and shelf life of turbot(Scophthalmus maximus) stored at 4 ℃ were determined by the quality index method(QIM) on the basis of total volatile basic nitrogen(TVB-N), K value, 2-thiobarbituric acid(TBA), texture profile analysis(TPA), and total viable count(TVC). The results showed that QI value displayed a highly linear relationship with storage time and could be represented by the equation QI = 1.175t- 0.395(R2 = 0.988 4). Conclusively, the QI could predict the remaining shelf life with an accuracy of ±1 day(0.816) at the 95% confidence interval. On the 15 th day, the sensory quality was considered unacceptable. TVB-N value, K value and the TVC reached 31.34 mg N/100 g, 72.24%and 6.45(lg(CFU/g)), respectively, which reached the reference limit standard for the endpoint of fish shelf life. The QIM result had a good coincidence with freshness indices, indicating that QIM is a promising and rapid method for freshness evaluation and shelf life determination. Meanwhile, a shelf life of 15 days was obtained in this study for turbot stored at 4 ℃.
