Abstract:
This is the first study in which the impact of a new bio-packaging on histamine formation in mackerel was investigated. To monitor the preservation of fresh fish samples a treatment with innovative polymeric film and a soaking procedure in liquid new biomaterial was adopted. Ultra HPLC diode array detection (UHPLC-DAD) analyses for histamine monitoring were performed on fresh, packaged, and soaked mackerel samples at different time. The histamine content threshold value was up to 7 days, and after this period the results showed that histamine levels were affected by application of biomaterial. Significant increase was detected in sample that was not treated with biofilm. The new biofilm extended the shelf-life and reveals a promising packaging system to prevent histamine biosynthesis.
