Abstract
In this study, sage, thyme and clove oils were evaluated as a glazing material for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) frozen. One percent sage, thyme and clove oil solutions were used for glazing. Water-glazed (WG) and nonglazed (NG) rainbow trout fillets were used as controls. Fish fillets were glazed and were stored in a freezer at -18C for 6 months. Samples were analyzed at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months for moisture content, total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid, peroxide value, free fatty acids and sensorial quality. It was determined that glazed samples had higher moisture content compared to NG trout fillet after 6 months storage. Essential oils were effective in controlling lipid oxidation in rainbow trout fillet (P < 0.05).
