Preparation of High-Quality Fermented Fish Product
概要
The goal of the protocol is to provide an industrialized fish fermentation technique based on inoculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Abstract
This protocol provides a method for preparation of industrialized fermented fish product with sturgeon (Aquilaria sinensis) meat product. The procedures were: (1) pretreatment of farmed sturgeon including decapitation, evisceration, skinning-off, cleaning and cutting; (2) marinating fish cubes in 6-12% (w/v) salt solution (1:1, fish cube mass to solution volume); (3) drying fish cubes to a water content of 50-60% by hot air (40-60 °C) or by vacuum; (4) fermentation involving inoculating fish cubes with 0.4-1.6% (w/w) S. cerevisiae in flavor solution to fish cubes and fermenting at 25-35 °C for 6-10 h; (5) sealing fish cubes in vacuum packages with marinating and fermenting solutions; (6) sterilizing at 115-121 °C for 10-20 min. The sturgeon meat product prepared by this method has delicious taste which is mellow and thick, has various types and large amounts of volatile flavor compounds such as alcohols and esters which could mask musty and unpleasant odor from fish, has moderate salt content but good texture properties such as high springiness, gumminess and chewiness, and has bright russet color and attractive appearance. This new technique could also be applied in the processing of other fish to provide convenient fish snack foods which could be stored at room temperature. It is appropriate for both marine and freshwater fish.
Introduction
Current commercial marinated fish product in China has the problem of heavy salty taste, insufficient wine aroma, poor elasticity and pale color, which decreases the acceptability to consumers. Therefore, a new technique for a high-quality fish meat product with wine aroma needs to be created and optimized.
In recent years, application of modern fermentation techniques in meat and fish has attracted attention from more and more researchers1,2,3,4. By inoculation of starter cultures into meat and fish, food safety has been enhanced, the processing time has been shortened; and the product sensory properties have been modified. Saithong et al.5 isolated lactobacillus bacteria (LAB) from natural plaa-som and used this LAB as a starter culture, which induced high acidity and suppressed pathogenic bacteria. Zeng et al.6 reported that inoculation with the autochthonous starter cultures reduced fermentation time and improved the sensory properties of samples. Casaburi et al.7 claimed that the use of microbial starter cultures influence the development of aroma in fermented meats. In these starter cultures, S. cerevisiae could produce wine aroma by alcoholic fermentation and could also give the product other improved organoleptic qualities. Therefore, S. cerevisiae is a suitable starter culture for wine-aroma products8,9,10 and wine-aroma fish product could be made by S. cerevisiae.
In the process of making wine-aroma fish product, the texture of meat and fish could be affected by salt content, water content, pH, protein denaturation, etc. Therefore, marinating, drying, fermentation and sterilization could all influence the texture characteristics. The formation of flavor and taste is complicated and is mainly affected by marinating and fermentation, because it is highly related to hydrolysis of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, and mild lipid oxidation11,12. It could also be affected by addition of spices13. For development of color, Maillard reaction occurs which is involved in the process of fermentation and sterilization10.
This article could provide technical support for the industrialization of fermented fish product with wine aroma, which is of great significance to the development of the fish processing industry. This technique could improve taste of product by increased proteolysis (more free amino acids and TCA-soluble peptides), modify flavor mainly by alcohols (ethanol, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol), esters (ethyl acetate) and aldehydes (nonanal, 3-methylbutanal and benzaldehyde), increase mouthfeel by higher hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness, and give more attractive russet color by and a bright surface14. It also gives consumers convenience because the product can be stored at room temperature. As described by other previous studies15,16,17, fermentation with S. cerevisiae has also been proved to significantly improve organoleptic qualities in other meat or fish products.
It is worth noting that the introduced protocol could also be applied in other species of fish, such as grass carp, silver carp, black carp, bighead carp, cod, salmon, etc. For high quality of fish products, fish without processing should be used, such as fresh fish, fish in ice or frozen fish stored for less than 1 year. Besides, since mild lipid oxidation could enhance flavor while extensive lipid oxidation brings unpleasant flavor, fish with less fat is preferred or skimmed fish is recommended.
Protocol
1. Sample preparation
- Thaw frozen sturgeon meat under flowing water below 20 °C. Then, clean, skin off and cut the fish into cubes (2 cm × 2 cm × 1.5 cm).
NOTE: Raw material could be fresh or frozen sturgeon meat. - Mix fish cubes with 6-12% (w/v) salt solution at a rate of 1:1 (fish cube mass to solution volume), at 10 °C for 1-3 h.
- Put the marinated fish cubes onto a stainless-steel gridding plate and dry fish cubes at 40-60 °C for about 6-10 h by hot air, or dry the fish cubes in vacuum, until the water content decreases to 50-60%.
- Mix dried fish cubes with the flavor solution inoculating 0.4-1.6% (w/w, starter culture mass to fish cube mass) S. cerevisiae at a rate of 1:1 (fish cube mass to solution volume). Seal the mixture in a container and ferment at 25-35 °C for 6-10 h.
NOTE: The fermentation must be performed under anaerobic environment.- Prepare the flavor solution to include 25% spices liquid, 40% yellow wine, 7% white wine, 25% cane sugar, 2% monosodium glutamate, and 1% vinegar in mass fraction.
- Prepare the spice liquid is as follows. Mix spices including 1.2 units of scallions, 1 unit of ginger, 0.6 units of star anise, 0.6 units of fennel, 0.3 units of green tea and 0.3 units of pepper with 40 units of water and boil for 0.5 h. Collect the filtrate. Mix the residue with another 40 units of water and boil for 0.5 h again. Combine filtrates of the two boils and make up to 100 units using boiled water.
NOTE: It is a must to pause the protocol here until the spice liquid has cooled to the room temperature before the addition of starter culture. This pause could avoid inactivation of yeast by heat.
- Seal fermented fish cubes in vacuum package with marinating and fermenting solutions at a rate of 11-13:1 (fish cube mass to solution volume). The vacuum strength, sealing time and cooling time are 0.085 MPa, 3.6 s and 5.5 s, respectively.
NOTE: The vacuum package material is polyethylene terephthalate/cast polypropylene (PET/CPP). The package weight is 50-80 g. - Sterilize packed fish cubes before storage and sale. The sterilization F-value should be more than 4.5 min. The sterilization temperature and time are 115-121 °C and 10-20 min, respectively. Maintain pressure constant at 0.12 MPa for cooling after sterilization.
NOTE: When sterilization F-value is 4.5 min and sterilization temperature is set as 121 °C, the sterilization time is 11.4 min in the equipment conditions of this article. Revise the sterilization time when the type of equipment used is different.
2. Estimation of shelf life of fermented sturgeon meat product

Representative Results
The suitable salt concentration, marinating time and temperature make the product’s textural quality better. The best marinating conditions were as follows: the salt concentration of 8% in the marinating solution; marinating time of 2 h; and marinating temperature of 10 °C. See Figure 1.
In drying process, the final moisture content and drying temperature could influence the texture and sensory quality. The best drying conditions were as follows: moisture content of the dried fish cubes of 55% and drying temperature of 50 °C. See Figure 2.
In the fermentation process, the addition of S. cerevisiae, the temperature and the time all affect the taste, flavor, color and texture properties of fish. The failure fermented fish and successful fermented fish are compared. The successful fermented fish has high scores for taste, flavor, color and texture resulting in harmonious taste, fermentative fragrance, winey, russet color, bright surface, caramel and al dente texture. The failed fish product has the low scores for taste, flavor, color and texture resulting the poor taste, bitterness, sourness, fishiness, pale color, rough surface, coarse mouthfeel and deteriorated texture. The reason for failed fish product could be failure of anaerobic conditions in the fermentation. The addition of 0.8% S. cerevisiae and fermentation at 28 °C for 6 h resulted in the best sensory quality. See Table 2.
In the sterilization process, the suitable sterilization intensity and sterilization temperature was 4.5 min and 121 °C. The sterilization technique can guarantee the safety of the product stored at room temperature, and a study of minimal sterilization could reduce the damage to textural quality. See Table 3 and Figure 3.
For storage, Arrhenius equation of AV changing rate variation with temperature is lnk = -2337.97/T + 2.98913. The fat oxidation kinetics model equation of fermented wine-aroma sturgeon meat product is A = 0.38·e0.0078t at 25 °C. The fat oxidation kinetics model equation of fermented wine-aroma sturgeon meat product is A = 0.38·e0.0100t at 35 °C. The prediction of the shelf life is 264 days and 205 days at 25 °C and 35 °C, respectively. See Figure 4.

Discussion
In this study, a new technique for the production of high-quality fermented fish product with wine aroma and tests for sensory properties are provided. The key processes of this technique are marinating, drying, fermentation and sterilization. In the marinating process, the salt concentration, the temperature and the time all affect the textural properties of the fish. The hardness and chewiness of the product increase gradually with the increase of salt concentration (0-12%, w/v) and the prolongation of marinating time (0-2.5 h); but the increase after 2 h is not significant. Meanwhile, chewiness increases with increased marinating temperature while hardness decreases when temperature is higher than 10 °C. In the drying process, the final moisture content and drying temperature could influence the state of protein, and thus result in different texture characteristics. With the decrease of final moisture content (75%-45%) in fish pieces, the hardness and chewiness of the product gradually increase. When the final moisture content of the drying end reduces from about 75% to about 55%, the change of elasticity of the product is not significant (P > 0.05). When the final moisture content reduces to less than 55%, the elasticity of the product decreases significantly. The reason could be that unbound water has little influence on texture characteristics while bound water has significant impact. Drying temperature could also affect textural quality. When the final moisture content is fixed at 55%, drying products at 40 and 50 °C has no significant difference in hardness, chewiness and elasticity (P > 0.05). In contrast, product dried at 60 °C is much higher in hardness and chewiness; and significantly lower in elasticity. In fermentation process, the addition of S. cerevisiae, the temperature and the time all affect the flavor property of fish. The suitable addition of S. cerevisiae (0.8%), fermentation temperature (28 °C) and fermentation time (6 h) could improve sensory receptivity for harmonious taste, fermentative fragrance, winey, russet color, bright surface, caramel and al dente texture. In the sterilization process, the sterilization intensity and temperature both affect the safety and texture property of fish. The safety of the product gradually increases with the increase of sterilization intensity. When the sterilization duration is higher than 4.5 min, the product can meet the commercial sterility requirements. The product sterilized at a higher temperature at the same sterilization intensity (duration) has a better textural quality.
For the improvement of this technique, it is noteworthy that lipid oxidation should be considered and controlled, since extensive lipid oxidation may bring unpleasant flavor, resulting in reduced overall organoleptic quality. The solution could be using fish with less fat or addition of food antioxidants.
Among the limitations of this study, it should be mentioned that only sensory properties and microbial safety have been examined. The nutritional value has not been investigated which could be performed in the future to provide a comprehensive evaluation of this product and technique.
The fermented fish product prepared by this technique has delicious taste which is mellow and thick and has various types of and large amounts of volatile flavor compounds such as alcohols and esters which could mask musty and unpleasant odors from fish. It has moderate salt content but good textural properties such as high springiness, gumminess and chewiness and has a bright russet color and attractive appearance. This new technique could also be applied in processing of other fish to provide convenient fish snack foods which could be stored at room temperature. It is of great significance to the development of fish processing industry.
In the future, more investigation of this technique could be carried out. For example, only one strain of S. cerevisiae was used as starter culture for development of wine aroma in this study, different strains could be used to develop unique complex and rich flavor. Therefore, it is necessary to further study the effect of fermentation process and mixing ratio of different strains on the product quality in the subsequent research, in order to optimize the mixing ratio and process parameters which can further improve the quality of fermented fish product.
