This study evaluated the effects of salting, oregano oil, and vacuum packaging on extending the shelf life of refrigerated trout fillets. Trout fillets were treated with different combinations of salting, oregano oil concentrations (0.2% and 0.4%), and vacuum or air packaging. Samples were analyzed for microbiological growth, chemical changes, and sensory quality during storage. The study found that vacuum packaging combined with salting and 0.2% oregano oil extended the shelf life of trout fillets to 16-17 days according to sensory analysis, significantly longer than the control (5 days) or other treatments. This natural preservation method showed potential for extending the shelf life of fresh fish while meeting consumer demand for mildly processed products
