Abstract
The reduction of added nitrite in stored cod fillets is due to bacterial agencies. There are two mechanisms of nitrite reduction, the first inhibiting bacterial growth in acid media, and the second inhibiting trimethylamine oxide reduction in neutral solution. The effect of several levels of nitrite concentration on spoilage in fillets stored at 3 °C. as measured organoleptically and by spoilage tests was determined.Keywords
