    Abstract Fish represent one of the most perishable food groups. Therefore, it is important to find viable alternatives that contribute to the preservation of quality and increase the shelf life of fishery products, and one alternative is to use natural extracts with antimicrobial activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a natural extract prepared with garlic (NGE) on the quality and shelf life of tilapia fillets stored on ice for 18 days. For this purpose, NGE was prepared by homogenizing peeled garlic cloves with distilled water, which were then centrifuged to obtain the extract (NGE); then, the fish fillets were immersed in the extract and were coated in NGE. The fillets with NGE were packed in high-density polyethylene bags and stored in crushed ice for 18 days. The adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and degradation products, K-value, color, texture, water holding capacity, pH, total mesophilic count, and total volatile bases (TVB-N) were monitored during storage. The ATP content, K-value, pH, total microbial count, and TVB-N changed with respect to ice storage time, and the results between fillets with NGE and control fillets differed. In conclusion, the application of NGE increased the shelf life of fillets stored on ice by 6 days, obtaining a shelf life of 18 days on ice, which shows its potential to improve the utilization of the species.

    Abstract Urbanization, livestock activities, and rainfall are factors that contribute to the contamination of inland water. This study aimed to determine the spatial and temporal variability of total coliforms (TCs) and fecal coliforms (FCs) in the surface water of San Pedro Lake as well as the gills and skin of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) cultivated in the lake. The study consisted of seasonal sampling during an annual cycle. Using the multiple‐tube fermentation technique, we quantified the microbial load of TCs in the lake and fish. The median of the TC and FC groups in surface water showed differences during the seasonal cycle, in which a significant correlation was observed between rainfall and bacterial load in the lake surface water. There was a significant seasonal difference between FCs and TCs in the gills as well as in skin FCs. Anthropogenic activities in the watershed combined with rainfall influence the bacterial load of San Pedro Lake. However, the water quality is still classified as excellent and uncontaminated according to Mexican regulations with lower FC values acceptable for higher FC values. In addition, the bacterial load in tilapia from San Pedro Lake does not pose a risk to human health. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Watershed livestock activities combined with rainfall increase fecal matter pollution in specific areas of the lake. San Pedro Lake displays satisfactory quality for aquatic life. The median fecal coliform population in lake fish (gills and skin) differs by season.

    Abstract The effect of pre‐filleting time (from 8 to 72 hr) of eviscerated chilled tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on the freshness quality and shelf life of tilapia fillets during 19‐day storage at 0°C was determined to know if pre‐filleting time affects shell life of tilapia fillets. Nonsensory methods were employed including physical (color and texture), chemical (pH), biochemical [Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB‐N) and K value], and microbiological parameters. Adenylate Energy Charge of live fish was calculated at harvest to determine the stress condition of fish. Results indicate greatest shelf life of 15 and 13 days at 8 and 24 hr pre‐filleting times, respectively. Longer pre‐filleting times of 48 and 72 hr resulted in a reduction in shelf life to 11 and 9 days. In conclusion, pre‐filleting time exerts an important effect over shell life of tilapia fillets. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This work highlights the importance of processing fish in the shortest time possible after harvest, since ice storage for hours or days will reduce shelf life of final product (fillets). Our data allow predicting the impact on shelf life when pre‐filleting storage time cannot be avoided.
