The Potential of Soluble Gas Stabilization (SGS) Technology in a Simulated Post-Frying Cooling Step of Commercial Fish Cakes

Sammendrag

Soluble gas stabilization (SGS) technology is a novel way to increase the effectiveness
of modified atmosphere (MA) packaging. However, SGS can be time-consuming and difficult to
include in an existing process. This can be overcome by including CO2
in an existing processing step,
such as the product’s cooling step. A full factorial design was set up with SGS times (0.5, 1.0, and
2.0 h) and temperatures of fish cakes (chilled (0 ◦C) or during chilling (starting at 85 ◦C)) as factors.
MA-packaged fish cakes were included as a control. The response was headspace gas composition at
equilibrium. Headspace gas composition at equilibrium showed significantly (p < 0.05) less dissolved
CO2
in hot fish cakes after 0.5 h than in cold cakes. Still, no significant differences were found between
hot and cold at 1.0 and 2.0 h. Also, all SGS samples, regardless of time and temperature, had a higher
content of CO2 compared to modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)
