Surimi is a wet concentrate of the myofibrilliar protein that can be produced by both marine and feshwater fish. The global production of farmed common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was approximately 6.14 % of the total wold aquaculture production, but the consumption of common carp is limited due to its strong earthy taste and odour and its large number of intramuscular small bones . Because of its high productivity, common carp muscle has been used in surimi and surimi products.
Fresh food, especially fish , are highly perishable products because of their biological composition. The shelf life of refrigerated fish is limited primarily due to microbial activities. The control of microbial growth is the key to the extension of the shelf-life of fish and fish products during processing, distribution, and storage. Temperature is one of the most important parameters that affect the growth of microorganisms. To reduce spoilage and biochemical degradation, different preservative methods, which are mainly based on low temperature, have been employed for the distribution and storage of food products.
