Abstract
Recent growth of functional product market and growing demand for fresh foodstuff with minimum treatment applied make specialists to research for improving food quality, keeping food fresh and increasing shelf-life. In this article the change of quality indicators of a new functional fish product with vegetable raw material coating is being analyzed. Using the raw material of vegetable origin has been justified. Organoleptic, physical and chemical, microbiological indicators of quality and indicators of safety of an experimental product have been investigated at refrigerating storage in adverse conditions for 7 months. Preliminary periods of finished good storage on the basis of the analysis of microbiological indicators have been justified. They are 6 months for a sample with coating and 5 month for that without coating. The coating has been proved to have a protective effect for a product.
