Abstract The effects of air-packed (AP) and vacuum-packed (VP) on quality and microbial characteristics of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) fillets during chilled storage (4 6 1 8C) were investigated. The fillets were analyzed for sensory scores, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), ATP-related compounds (ATP, IMP, HxR, and Hx), K value, and biogenic amines (BAs). The results proved that VP inhibited the increase of microorganisms, TVB-N, Hx, and putrescine in silver carp, and slowed the reduction in sensory score. Therefore, VP can be applied for preservation of the silver carp fillets to improve its quality. For identification, 16S rRNA genes of the isolated pure strains were sequenced and analyzed. On the initial day of storage, Chryseobacterium was the dominant bacterial genus. At the end of shelf life, Pseudomonas was the most common group in AP fillets and Aeromonas followed by Yersinia were found mainly in VP samples.

Practical applications Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are distributed widely in fresh water systems. The world aquaculture production of silver carp was 4,354,638 tons, and it ranked second highest among freshwater fish species in 2015, but they are perishable during storage because of microbial spoilage and biochemical reactions. Vacuum packaging (VP) has proved to be effective for extending the shelf-life of aquatic products by excluding oxygen that prevents the growth of spoilage bacterial. However, little information is available on the microbial succession of VP silver carp. Therefore, this work was to determine the differences of microbiological succession on chilled silver carp fillets under air-packed (AP) and VP conditions using a combination of culture-based and 16S rRNA gene analysis methods. Furthermore, this study will give valuable information about development and spoilage of VP silver carp fillets.

In the microbial composition, there were obvious differences between AP and VP samples. A total of 84 isolates from VP fillets were identified (Table 5): 43 of them were from the day close to spoilage (12th day), and the others were from the end of storage (18th day). Compared to AP fillets, the microbial composition at day 12, when close to spoilage, changed completely in VP fillets under chilled storage. Pseudomonas, as the predominant bacteria in AP samples, did not appear in VP samples. However in the plate count results, the counts of Pseudomonas increased to 6.55 log10 CFU/g on the 18th day. Tryfinopoulou, Drosinos, and Nychas (2001) found that Aeromonas, Enterobacteriaceae, and Shewanella can grow on PAB, which may be the reason for this phenomenon. At day 12, Aeromonas isolates in VP samples were at a higher proportion (65%) than those in AP samples. At day 18, Aeromonas was also represented by the highest proportion. The predominant species of Aeromonas was Aeromonas sobria, both on the 12th and 18th days. Aeromonas has been reported as the major spoilage bacteria of many freshwater fish species (Gui et al., 2014). Chryseobacterium was one of the major bacteria detected at the beginning of storage, but was no longer detected on the 12th and 18th days under the VP chilled storage. At the end of shelf life of VP silver carp fillets, Aeromonas followed by Yersinia was the predominant bacteria. In the present study, all of the Yersinia species were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Yersinia ruckeri.
