Some quality properties of grass carp treated under conventional water washing and optimized thermoultrasound-assisted PFB decontamination conditions.

	Hardness (g)	TVB-N (mg N/100 g)	PV (mEq peroxide/kg)	AnV	Totox
Initial	594.48 ± 4.99a	7.35 ± 0.350b	1.64 ± 0.043b	0.164 ± 0.005b	3.44 ± 0.091b
CDW	580.76 ± 5.11a	7.78 ± 0.095b	1.75 ± 0.056b	0.186 ± 0.009b	3.72 ± 0.121b
TSPFB	570.67 ± 6.17a	14.12 ± 0.445a	3.45 ± 0.312a	0.430 ± 0.035a	7.34 ± 0.589a

CDW: Conventional water washing; TSPFB: Thermoultrasound-assisted plasma functionalized buffer decontamination at optimized conditions; TVB-N: Total volatile basic nitrogen; PV: Peroxide value; AnV: p-anisidine value; Totox: Total oxidation. Values are mean of triplicate measurements ± standard error of measurements. Values with different letters in the same column indicate significant differences at p < 0.05.
