Abstract: Minced bighead carp was fermented by different strains of lactic acid bacteria and the changes in its microflora and physico-chemical properties during fermentation were analyzed. The results showed that lactic acid fermentation could notably decrease the pH of minced bighead carp and inhibit the growth of other microorganisms such as spoilage bacteria. Meanwhile, the content of TVB-N in minced bighead carp was reduced and its gel strength and whiteness were enhanced. SDS-PAGE studies indicated that lactic acid fermentation could propel the decomposition of protein in the minced bighead carp.

Key words: minced bighead carp, lactic acid bacteria, fermentation, microflora, properties
