Limits of acceptability
for total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN)
in some fish were 30-35mg 100 g–1 (Huss,
1988); however, Ababouch et al. (1996)
found that 25-35mg TVB-N 100g-1 was the
limit of acceptability in sardine, while El
Marrakchi et al. (1990) found the limit of
acceptability in another fish sample to be 25-
30mg TVB-N 100 g–1
