The exponential spoilage model shown below is used in FSSP for the effect of temperature on RRS of sliced and vacuum packed cold-smoked salmon. Ln(RRS) = 0.089 x T°C Eqn. 1 When vacuum-packed cold-smoked salmon was stored at temperatures that changes between 5°C and 15°C this model predicted shelf-life appropriately as shown in the Table just below.
Eqn. 1 predicted the effect of temperature on RRS of sliced and vacuum packed cold-smoked salmon corresponding to bias- and accuracy factors of 0.87 and 1.40, respectively (See Table below). However, more accurate predictions, corresponding to bias- and accuracy factors of 0.91 and 1.18 were obtained for hot-smoked eel, halibut and herring stored aerobically between 2°C and 20°C. Equations uses to calculate bias- and accuracy factors based on RRS-data are shown in Eqn. 2 and 3.
