The present invention provides a production method of high-quality room-temperature cooked stinky mandarin fish, including thawing, washing and
cutting, soaking and sterilizing, removing
odor and locking freshness, low-temperature
air drying, deep-frying and shaping, sterilization and other
processing of fermented stinky mandarin fish to obtain a room-temperature cooked stinky mandarin fish product. Compared with the traditional method, the present invention adopts a method of soaking and sterilizing combined with mild heat treatment sterilization to kill microorganisms, prolong the
shelf life of cooked stinky mandarin fish, and can be stored at
room temperature for 9 months, and significantly improve its
processing quality, such as the volume shrinkage ratio of fish meat is reduced by 14.73% and the elasticity is increased by 80.24%. The present invention also innovates the formula and process for removing
odor and locking freshness during the
processing process. The added deodorizing and locking freshness ingredients have multiple functions such as removing
odor, locking freshness and anti-oxidation, such as the product
moisture content and
water holding capacity are increased by 9.32% and 17.84% respectively; and improves the safety quality of cooked stinky mandarin fish during storage, such as the
thiobarbituric acid content in the fifth month under 30°C storage conditions is significantly reduced by 43.39%.
