Abstract Seafood during processing is liable to contaminate with various kinds of spoilage microorganisms from different sources. Therefore a total of 100 frozen fish fillet and shrimp samples were randomly collected from different markets of Ismailia city to determine their bacteriological quality. Another 50 shrimps samples were divided into four groups, the first group was kept as control, and the other three were the experimental group. All groups were salted using regular table salt 17g/Kg shrimp. The experimental groups were treated by addition of 1%, 2% and 3% concentrations olive leaves extract. The samples were kept in refrigerator at 4°C for 1 hour. All Samples were sensory and bacteriological evaluated. The obtained results revealed that, the mean value of total psychrophilic, enterobacteriacae , Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli counts for fish fillets samples were 2.4 x ] 05, 2.3x ] 05, 2.1 x ] 05 and 3.2 x 102 cfulg respectively meanwhile for shrimps samples were 1.6 x 106,19 x 103, 3.5 x 106 and 1.8 x 102 cfulg respectively. The obtained results were compared with the standard limits set by The Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality Control. The mean values of flavour for treated shrimp samples with 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% OLE were 2.7, 3.0, 3.3 and 3.8 respectively. The mean values of taste for treated shrimp samples with 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% OLE were 2.3, 2.9, 3.2 and 3.6 respectively. The mean values of total psychrophilic counts for treated shrimp samples with 0%, 1 %,2% and 3% OLE were 5 x 106,2 x 106,4 x 105 and 1.5 x 105 cfulg respectively. The mean values of total enterobacteriacae counts for treated shrimp samples with 0%, 1 %,2% and 3% OLE were 21 x 103, 18 x 103, 16 x 103 and 9 x 103 cfulg respectively. The current study confirmed that the spoilage of frozen seafood products during storage may be attributable to high bacterial contamination before and during processing due to in adequate hygienic practices. Using of olive leaves extract up to 3% in marinating processes of shrimp could improve the sensory and bacteriological quality. |
