Core Subject : Science,
The journal aims to advance and disseminate high-quality scientific research that bridges food science, nutrition, and biomedical sciences to promote human health, food safety, and sustainable food systems. It serves as an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to publish innovative findings that deepen the understanding of food composition, processing, and its complex interactions with biological systems at molecular, microbial, and genetic levels. The journal welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and short communications that address fundamental and applied aspects of Food Science, including food chemistry, safety and quality assurance, processing technologies, functional foods, sensory evaluation, food packaging, and preservation strategies. Contributions in Nutrition Science focus on nutrient composition, metabolism, clinical and personalized nutrition, dietary interventions, and their impacts on health outcomes across the lifespan. In the areas of Immunology and Microbiology, the journal emphasizes studies on the role of the gut microbiota in digestion and immune modulation, probiotics and prebiotics, foodborne pathogens, and nutrition-based disease prevention. Research in Biochemistry explores molecular mechanisms underlying nutrient absorption, enzymatic activity, antioxidant functions, and metabolomic profiling in food and nutrition contexts. Additionally, the journal covers Genetics and Molecular Biology, highlighting nutrigenomics, genetic determinants of food preferences and dietary responses, genetic modification and biotechnology in crops, as well as epigenetic influences of nutrition on health and disease.

Abstract

Background: Minced fish is widely marketed in traditional markets due to its practical use as raw material for various processed fish products. However, mechanical mincing under inadequate hygiene and cold-chain management may lead to an increase in Total Plate Count (TPC), thereby accelerating quality deterioration and increasing potential food safety risks.Objective: This study evaluated the freshness and quality of minced fish sold in a traditional market using integrated chemical, physical, microbiological, and sensory indicators.Methods: A purposive sampling approach was applied to four types of minced fish sold at Perumnas Sako Kenten Market, Palembang: snakehead (Channa striata, S1), spotted mackerel (Scomberomorus guttatus, S2), snapper (Lutjanus campechanus, S3), and sardine (Sardinella lemuru, S4). Analyses included proximate composition, pH, Total Volatile Base Nitrogen (TVB-N), Trimethylamine Nitrogen (TMA-N), Total Plate Count (TPC), descriptive sensory scoring, and hedonic evaluation. Results were interpreted descriptively and compared with Indonesian National Standards (SNI) and relevant literature.Results: All samples exhibited TPC values exceeding the SNI limit (1×10⁶ CFU/g), ranging from 1.6×10⁷ to 2.8×10⁷ CFU/g. TVB-N values remained low (6.0–7.6 mgN/100 g), while elevated TMA-N levels were observed in spotted mackerel and sardine, indicating reduced freshness in pelagic species. Sensory evaluation showed good acceptance for snakehead, spotted mackerel, and snapper, whereas sardine received neutral to low scores, particularly for aroma and texture.Conclusion: The quality of minced fish varied among species, while microbial contamination consistently exceeded safety limits. Sensory evaluation remains important but insufficient alone; therefore, integrated freshness assessment supported by improved hygiene and cold-chain management is essential.
