Effects of edible film of sodium alginate on quality changes of dressed kilka in frozen storage

The likely effects of sodium alginate edible coating on the quality of dressed kilka fish in the frozen storage was investigated. Sodium alginate edible coating was prepared in four concentrations (0.25, 0.75, 1.25, and 1.75%). Then, dressed kilka fish were coated with sodium alginate for 1h, packed in polyethylene dishes with cellophane blanket and stored at - 18°C. The amount of hem Iron, pH, percent lipid and organoleptic characteristics (odor, color) were assessed within 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 months (sample size: 125 packs of 250g). Results showed a significant difference between the mean hem iron and percent lipid and increase in sodium alginate concentration (P0.05) with different levels of coating. Organoleptic results showed that the mean color and odor value of the samples were affected significantly by different levels of coating (P<0.05). Use of sodium alginate edible coating to protect hem iron and improve organoleptic properties can increase the quality of kilka in frozen storage up to 4 months

Impacts of whey protein edible coating on chemical and microbial factors of gutted kilka during frozen storage

Some biological aspects of Caspian Sea crayfish Astacus leptodactylus eichwaldi in Bandar Anzali coastal zone

Among crayfish species only Astacus leptodactylus eichwaldi Bott, 1950, is found in Bandar Anzali coastal area. The research survey carried out during 2001-2002, by designing twelve transects (transects covered the depth of 35, 45, 55 and 65m). Foldable traps being used to catch crayfish. The maximum abundance of crayfish was caught at the depth of 40-60m. The average length and weight measured 125.6±0.2mm and 60.6±0.3g. The length and weight range were 72-169mm and 12.5-148g, respectively. Sex ratio during studying period favoured females with 1:0.86. The ovarian and pleopodal eggs calculated 308.98±10.62 and 255.54±10.87, respectively. The fecundity result obtained from A. leptodactylus eichwaldi population showed resemblance to its Turkmenistan counterpart. With the increase of weight in females the number of eggs in each gram of body weight (relative fecundity) is reduced. The breeding season in the studied area occurred in 21th January to 22th July. First moulting in males happened in July and the second moulting which are simultaneous with females occurred 11th-30th September. Length group 120-129mm were dominant in population and length frequency analysis showed six age groups among the crayfishes in studied area September. Length group 120-129 mm were dominant in population and length frequency analysis showed six age groups among the crayfishes in studied area. Average CPUE in the mentioned year was 2.54 individuals per trap per 24 hours. At present no harvest of crayfish taken-place, CPUE data showed that the density of crayfish between transects of 1-7 have been relatively considerable, and it is recommended that after carrying out stock assessment survey, the exploitation of crayfish resources can be programmed

Chemical composition and fatty acid profile of common Kilka , Clupeonella cultriventris caspia

The objective of the present study was to determine chemical composition and fatty acid profile of common Kilka ,Clupeonella cultriventris caspia, in the Caspian Sea. The chemical analysis revealed that the protein and lipid content of common Kilka were 15.05 and 6.5% of the fresh weight, and total MUFA, PUFA and SFA were found to be 37.00, 32.89 and 29.03% respectively. Palmitic acid (16:0) among total SFAs, oleic acid (18:1n-9) among MUFAs, Docosahexanoid acid (DHA) (22:6n-3) among n-3 PUFAs and linoleic acid (LA) (18:2n-6) among n-6 PUFAs were the most abundant fatty acids. The obtained results revealed that common Kilka is a better source of ω-3 PUFAs than ω-6. DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) were the major components of ω-3 PUFAs. Levels of DHA and EPA were 20.79% and 6.97% respectively. The PUFA/SFA ratio was 1.13 in common Kilka. This ratio was more than the recommended minimum value (0.45).The EPA/DHA ratio was 0.34 in common Kilka. The present study suggests that common Kilka is rich in essential unsaturated fatty acids of the ω-3 family, especially DHA which may be considered nutritionally attractive for human

Effects of different concentrations of sodium alginate as an edible film on chemical changes of dressed kilka during frozen storage

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sodium alginate edible coating with concentrations of 0/25, 1/25, 0/75 and 1/75% (W/V) on chemical changes of dressed Kilka during frozen storage. Prepared samples of Kilka fish have been coated for 1 h with the dipping method. Coated and uncoated samples have been packed in polyethylene dishes with selphon coverage (75 packs of 250 g). Chemical parameters (moisture, ash, protein, TVN and lipid) were examined in frozen storage at -18ºC for 4 months. SPSS Statistical Software was used for data analysis, using One Way ANOVA test. Significant reduction was found (P<0.05) in moisture value with increase of sodium alginate concentration during the study. Significant differences were found in TVN values during the third and fourth months but there were no significant differences (P<0.05) in ash and protein content. The highest content of TVN was found in control samples and use of sodium alginate edible coating affected the reduction of TVN, prevented the lipid oxidation, increased the shelf-life of Kilka and reduced the moisture

The effect of natural preservative (rosemary and thyme) on minced meat of silver carp

The aim of this study to investigate the antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of Rosmary(Rosmarinusofficinalis) and Thyme (Zatariamultiflora) on fatty acids stability and shelf life of frozen minced silver carp fish(Hypophtalmictysmolitirix). Treatments include frozen meat in conventional packaging (control), frozen minced fish+200 ppm thyme(treatment 1), frozen meat+200 ppm rosemary (T2), frozen meat + rosemary (100 ppm) and thyme (100 ppm)(T3). Treatments packed in polyethylene bags and were freezed at -36°C by spiral freezer and IQF method, then were transferred to freezer to keep at -36°C during the storage. Treatments were analyzed for 10 days intervals in the First month and 15 days intervals in the second month of storage. In the next few months, treatments were analyzed once a month. In this study, various levels of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in the three treatments and control treatment were identified. The results showed that Keeping of Minced Fish containing thyme and rosemary extract in freezing conditions led to stability of fatty acids (MUFA, PUFA, omega- 3 and omega-6) and the changes in fatty acid oxidation during storage is not significantly. The profile of fatty acids and their related indicators results as well as statistical tests showed that treatments containing rosemary extract were more stable (-18°C) in comparison with the control and other treatments during frozen condition. Also these teratmentshad less oleic acid and linoleic acid , ά-linolenic and palmitic acid in compared with others .more According to the results treated minced meat with rosemary extract was kept the quality for six months and more

Study on the possibility of producing low-fat spread using gelatin extracted from cultured carp wastes

By-products consist of more than half of the total weight of fish. Most part of these wastes made from connective tissue proteins that provide good potential to produce gelatin. Nowadays, consumers are more health conscious and have responded to the call for a diet that contains low calorie and low fat. This work involved the characterization of a low-fat spread made of fish gelatin as gelling agent, emulsifier and fat replacer. Six treatments with Fish gelatin (FG) to pectin ratio 1:1 and 2:1, with pectin concentration of 1, 2 and 3%, were produced and evaluated for quality changes and storage-life at refrigerated storage. The results showed that prepared emulsions were physically stable and no phase separation observed during 8 wks. The pH of treatments was 4.5 to 4.9. The moisture content of treatments varied from 68.9% for T1 (FG/pectin ratio 1:1) to 65.4% for T6 (FG/pectin ratio 6:3). The Max. lipid of samples was measured 28.4%. Max. and min. protein of samples were 3.8% for T6 and 1.6% for T2 (FG/pectin ratio 2:1), respectively. No significant differences (p≥0.05) were observed between ash content of all treatments and control (commercial margarin). The acidity of treatments increased during storage and were significantly different from production day (p≤0.05). Peroxide value (PV) of treatments increased significantly at refrigerated storage. No significant differences were observed between PV of treatments during different wks of sampling. The results of texture profile analysis showed that firmness, compressibility and adhesiveness properties were significantly increase with higher substitution of FG with pectin. Color, Aroma, Taste and texture properties of prepared samples were found to significantly lower than control, according to sensory evaluation. Significant increases were observed in mold/yeast and psychrophilic count of treatments during storage. The macroscopic growth of molds was observed on all samples in 8th wks. No coliform growth was observed in all treatments at any time. Results suggest that low-fat spread properties were significantly influenced by different ratios of fish gelatin and pectin incorporated. It seems that these results can provide new opportunities to develop market with introducing novel products to response consumer demands. Some quality defects observed in this study can be improved by using suitable machinery at industrial scale
