The present study showed that postharvest treatment of striped red mullet with gaseous O3 and the subsequent storage of samples under anoxic conditions (MAP) significantly reduced microbial spoilage and related TMA-N formation. On the other hand, no prooxidant effect was detected on lipid degradation. According to the current imperative to maximize the value of seafood products, it is concluded that O3 in combination with MAP represents a promising
technique to extend the shelf-life of striped red mullet maintaining high safety and quality.
