Chilled storage of Malaysian fishballs and hazards and CCP analyses
Share
Abstract
Fishballs from six local factories were stored at 5°C for 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 days. There were no changes in texture at 3 days of storage but bacterial spoilage rendered the fishballs unacceptable by the fourth day. Most of the bacteria were non-halophilic. The main genera isolated were Aerococcus, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Micrococcus, Streptococcus, and Enterobacteria. Hazards and critical control points have been identified at various stages of fishball processing.
