Hyperbaric cold storage: Pressure as an effective tool for extending the shelf-life of refrigerated mackerel (Scomber scombrus, L.)

The efficacy of hyperbaric cold storage for preserving lean fish has been recently demonstrated but, to the best of our knowledge, no data exist for fatty fish. To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric cold storage on the shelf-life and quality of fatty fish, we stored Atlantic mackerel fillets at 5 °C, both at atmospheric pressure and at 50 MPa. After 12 days of hyperbaric storage, no microbial growth was observed. Thus, most counts were similar or...
