Fishy odor of fish flesh (meat) presents a severe problem for marine production. The main cause of fishy odor is trimethylamine (TMA), which increases during storage. It is produced from trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), an osmosis-regulating substance in fish cells that functions by a reduction reaction. Bacterial growth in fish meat increases TMA. Its odor reduces the commercial value of the meat. Technologies for its regulation and elimination are desired. This chapter presents a description of the use of lactic acid to eliminate TMA. The lactic acid is producible safely by bacteria during food processing using picric acid-toluene.A method of eliminating TMA was demonstrated using Lactobacillus plantarum H78. Furthermore, an assay method was explained for reducing TMA in fish meat by fermenting the H78 strain.
鱼肉的腥味是海洋生产面临的一个严重问题。腥味的主要原因是三甲胺(TMA),它在储存过程中会增加。三甲胺是鱼细胞中一种调节渗透压的物质氧化三甲胺(TMAO)的还原产物。鱼肉中细菌的生长会增加 TMA 的含量。其气味会降低肉的商业价值。因此,人们希望有一种调节和消除 TMA 的技术。本章介绍了使用乳酸消除 TMA 的方法。在食品加工过程中,可以使用苦味酸-甲苯安全地由细菌产生乳酸。使用植物乳杆菌 H78 证明了一种消除 TMA 的方法。此外,还解释了通过发酵 H78 菌株来减少鱼肉中 TMA 的测定方法。
