Effects of Sodium Hypochlorite Rinsing on Tilapia Storage: An Investigation Based on Muscle Quality and Tissue Protease Activity

Sodium hypochlorite solution has a good bacterial reduction effect. Thus, in order to understand the effect of sodium hypochlorite on tilapia storage, in this study, tilapia fillets were treated with sodium hypochlorite and Proclin 300 rinsing, the activity of histatinase protease was measured, and the muscle quality was assessed by the texture, colour, pH, myofibrillar fibril fragmentation index (MFI) and its structural changes. The results showed that sodium hypochlorite rinsing could...
