Objective

Summary of proposal Give below a brief summary of the research objectives and content of the project. Also describe briefly the training content of the proposal. Use plain typed text, preferably in English, avoiding formulae and other special characters. Research objectives and content.

During recent years, there has been a growing consumer interest in high quality food coupled with safety. MaatJesherring, a lightly salted and enzymatic ripened herring, is a very popular fish product in the Netherlands. Most of the studies dealing with maatjesherring have concentrated on the formation of biogenic amines together with determinations of bacterial counts. However, information about the detailed spoilage flora composition and the source of the spoilage bacteria in a fish processing plant is still lacking.
