Title: The influence of packaging method on quality storage changes of salted herrings
Abstract. The influence of packaging method of selected fish product (salted herrings) on its shelf-life (to 32 days) was the aim of the presented work. Experimental samples were packed traditionally in cardboard boxes or into plastic bags applying vacuum. The organoleptic methods were used for the investigation. Only the main consumer factors were checked (external appearance, taste, odour and texture). Both checked parameters (time of storage and kind of used packaging) had statistically significant influence on the final quality of the experimental samples. The taste was the most sensitive factor. Vacuum packaging significantly prolongs the shelf-life of the product.
