Abstract
This study aimed to assess the changes in quality of tambaqui sous vide during refrigerated storage using degradation kinetics. Tambaqui sous vide was prepared and stored at three temperatures (1, 4, 10 °C). The microorganism counts and the physicochemical analyses were analyzed every three days. The results obtained were fitted to the Labuza models and by Arrhenius equation. The results of the microbiological and physicochemical analyses obtained better fits to the zero-order model. The Arrhenius equation better fit to the velocity constants of the zero-order model, which showed that the changes in the values of attributes are related to temperature. Higher Ea values were found for the microorganism counts than for the physicochemical parameters, which proves the greater dependency of microorganisms on variations in temperature. The assessment of changes in quality based on temperature allows the storage conditions to be optimized.
