Study notes & interpretation
Source: Singapore Aquaculture Technologies product validation report. Whole Asian barramundi were evaluated at 8°C.
Freshness: 8/10 for coated fish versus 1/10 for the uncoated sample on day 5. The report assessed sensory freshness on a ten-point scale.
Bacterial count: 9.0 × 10⁴ versus 2.0 × 10⁷ CFU/g on day 5, measured using ISO 4833. The displayed 99.55% reduction is calculated from those counts.
Storage window: coated fish remained below the report’s 2 × 10⁶ CFU/g threshold through day 6. The uncoated sample exceeded it on day 3.
