New study shows microbial maturity can markedly reduce off-flavour in RAS-reared Atlantic salmon
Earthy and musty off-flavours caused by the microbial metabolites geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) remain a significant challenge for land-based salmon producers.
These compounds give rise to unpleasant flavours in fish produced in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and can lead to negative consumer perception, reduced product prices and lower revenues when detected in fillets....
