Shrimp and mussel samples were cleaned, washed and exposed to steam before freezing. HHP treatment was performed at combinations of 200, 220 and 250 MPa at 25, 30, 40 and 50&deg / C for 10 and 20 minutes. Microbial analysis were performed by analyzing the effect of treatments on the microbial reduction in the samples. Based on the results of the microbial reduction, the best combinations of HHP treatments were determined as 250 MPa, 50&deg / C, 10 minute for shrimps and 220 MPa, 50&deg / C, 10 minute for mussels where total microbial inactivation was achieved. Storage analysis was performed on the samples, treated at the selected HHP combinations and stored at room (25&deg / C) and refrigeration temperatures (4&deg / C). For the storage analysis, variations in Total Volatile Bases (TVB-N) and pH were measured. According to the results evaluated, shelf-life of the shrimps were detected as 10 and 16 days for storage at room and refrigeration temperature, respectively as compared to 4 days of untreated sample at 4oC. Similarly shelf-life for the mussel samples were obtained as 12 days for storage at room and 18 day for storage at refrigeration temperature as compared to 4 days of untreated sample at 4oC. HHP-at the studied parameters for shrimps and mussels- can be offered as an alternative method for the preservation of shell-fish instead of conventional frozen food technology, which is currently used in the industry, since it gives the opportunity to handle the samples at lower temperatures for the post-production period resulting in both reduction of energy required and operational costs without sacrificing from the quality as measured by microbial reduction, TVB-N and pH.

Por esse motivo, procurou-se verificar o efeito da sangria sobre a qualidade da carne do tambaqui armazenado em gelo (2:1) (0ºC ± 4ºC) por 29 dias. Para tanto, foram utilizados 90 exemplares (1,230 ± 0,80kg e 36,20 ± 7,10cm) do peixe em questão, sendo divididos em dois grupos: 45 exemplares sangrados e 45 exemplares não sangrados. Em intervalos de 2 a 3 dias, amostras foram retiradas para as análises microbiológicas e físico-químicas. Nos tempos estabelecidos realizou-se as análises de contagem total de microrganismos heterotróficos aeróbios mesófilos, aeróbios psicrotróficos, bactérias do gênero Aeromonas spp, contagem de bactérias da família Enterobacteriaceae, e análises físico-químicas de pH e BVT (Bases Voláteis Totais). Não houve efeito significativo (p>0,05) entre peixes sangrados e não sangrados em relação à quantificação de mesófilos e Aeromonas spp. No entanto, para a quantificação de psicrotróficos e Enterobactérias, e determinação do pH e BVT, o teste de comparação de médias Tukey foi significativo ao nível de 5%, sendo que o grupo de peixes sangrados apresentou resultados mais satisfatórios em relação a manutenção da qualidade da carne. / The fresh fish is one of the most susceptible food to deterioration by microorganisms. Therefore, one intended to verified the effect of the difference between fish bled and not bled on the meat quality of tambaqui stored on ice (0°C to 4°C) for 29 days. Therefore, 90 samples(1.230 ± 0.80 kg and 36.20 ± 7.10 cm) of the fish in question were divided into two groups: 45 samples were bled and 45 samples were not bled. Within 2 to 3 days, samples were taken for microbiological and physico-chemical analysis. In the established times held the analyzes of total count of aerobic heterotrophic mesophilic microorganisms, quantification of aerobic heterotrophic microorganisms psychrotrophic bacteria from Aeromonas, Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, and physico-chemical analysis of pH and TVB (total volatile bases). There was no significant effect (p> 0.05) between fish bled and not bled on meat quality for the quantification of BHAM and Aeromonas. However, for the quantification of BHAP and Enterobacteriaceae, and determination of pH and TVB, the comparison Tukey test was significant at the 5% level, and the group bled fish showed better results.
