Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure（HHP） Technology on Sterilization and Quality of the Tai Lake Whitebait with Flexible Package

Abstract:

This paper studied the relationship between the microflora of Tai Lake whitebait with flexible package and the HHP parameters. The influence of HHP process on the moisture，soluble protein and free amino acid contents of whitebait was also investigated. Results showed that：the 600MPa HHP treatment could kill pathogenic bacteria in all species and decrease the total number of microflora to less than 100cfu/g； HHP process led to slight losses of the moisture，soluble protein and free amino acids of whitebait.
