Notes:
: We investigated the effect of a commercial plant extract, Rosmol-P (RP) on the stability of fish during frozen storage. Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) fillets were soaked in water (water control) and 2 RP concentrations (RP-1 = 0.333%; RP-2 = 1.333%) and compared with untreated fillets (blank control). Fluorescence detection and thiobarbituric acid index showed a lower oxidation development for both RP treatments than for both controls, especially in the case of the highest concentration (RP-2). The decrease in glutathione peroxi-dase activity was found to be slower in the case of the RP-2 treatment. The sensory analysis showed an increased shelf-life according to the sequence blank control 〈 water control 〉 RP-1, RP-2.
