Summary. It has been shown that the development of Hemispora stellata Vuill and red halophilic bacteria in salted snoek (Thyrsites atun Euph.) can be combated successfully by the use of sorbic acid during salting of the fish. Applications of sorbic acid by dipping of the fish in salt-sorbate solutions proved to be more effective than the use of a mixture of salt and sorbic acid in the salting of fish. When the preservative was mixed with the salt, a severe breakdown of sorbic acid, catalysed by fish constituents which migrated into the salt, occurred during salting. In contrast with this the sorbic acid in salted fish was shown to be rather stable.Though the experiments were confined to limited experimental saltings, and some of the statements might not hold completely for full scale salting, it should be mentioned that in practice the application of dipping in salt-sorbate solutions also gave good protection against development of halophilic moulds and bacteria.
