Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of salt pretreatment (1 % and 2 %) on the physicochemical properties, sensory characteristics and safety indices of largemouth fillets during superchilling storage. During superchilling storage, the 2 % group had the lowest values of ice crystal formation temperature, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and total viable counts (TVC), and the deterioration of fish quality in the 2 % group was significantly slower than that in the 1 % group (P<0.05). At the later stage of storage, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF NMR) results showed that moisture in the fish fillets showed a mixture of ice crystals and water, and TBA, TVB-N, and TVC values were significantly higher in the salt-treated group (P<0.05); the proteins interacted with unfrozen fractions to form relatively ordered structures, which promoted the intensity of protein bands. The pH of the fillets transferred from neutral to weakly acidic throughout the period of storage, and the L*, W and b* values of the 2 % group were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those of the other two groups. The results of shear force, microstructure and western blot (WB) indicated that salt pretreatment significantly improved fillet tenderness and odor. These indicated that the ideal salt pretreatment concentration and quality of the bass fillets for superchilled storage were 2 % and 21 d, respectively. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of the preservation of aquatic products.

Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
