Geosmin depuration from fish
Off-flavour described as ‘earthy-musty’ is commonly reported in fish raised in land-based aquaculture systems. Bioconcentration in fish of lipophilic geosmin produced by microbiota is regarded as the most important cause for this off-flavour. Despite that off-flavour in fish is an extensively studie...

Off-flavour described as ‘earthy-musty’ is commonly reported in fish raised in land-based aquaculture systems. Bioconcentration in fish of lipophilic geosmin produced by microbiota is regarded as the most important cause for this off-flavour. Despite that off-flavour in fish is an extensively studied and well documented problem, satisfactory solutions are lacking. The most promising solution on a short notice is the optimization of geosmin removal from fish prior to harvest, i.e., the off-flavour depuration process. This depuration process however is not always effective nor reliable. Hence, further optimization is needed to prevent market entrance of off-flavoured fish. The general objective of this thesis was therefore to improve off-flavour depuration processes, with a focus on geosmin excretion.
