This study aimed to assess the influence of different pre-slaughter methods on the meat quality parameters of Nile tilapia. The results showed that live chilling had a faster onset of rigor mortis compared to essential oil anesthesia, and mechanical spiking had comparable effects to live chilling. The pH value, TVB-N, and K-value remained unchanged, indicating no detrimental effects on meat quality.
In Brazil, tilapia represented 57% of the total fish production. This study aimed assess the influence of different pre-slaughter methods (live chilling in ice/water (LC); anesthesia with the essential oils Ocimum americanum (OA) or Lippia alba (LA) and mechanical spiking (SP), on the meat quality parameters of Nile tilapia. The rigor mortis index showed faster onset in the LC group compared to the OA and LA groups after 3 hours. The pH value, TVB-N, and K-value remained unchanged, indicating no detrimental effects on meat quality. Mechanical spiking and essential oil anesthesia had comparable effects to ive chilling.
