The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of wall materials composition on physicochemical characteristics of fish oil microcapsule produced by spray-drying (180 oC). Four different combination of coating materials (fish gelatin, chitosan, combination of gelatin and chitosan and a mixture of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) with maltodextrin) were applied to two different fish oils to produce 40% solid emulsions. Scanning electron microscopy and extraction of surface and encapsulated oils revealed that fish gelatin had the highest ability of covering fish oil ; Meantime, addition of MTGase to gelatin could also increase this ability and reveled less surface oil (2.63% than 5.23% on chitosan treatment (P<0.05). Mixture of gelatin and maltodextrin with MTGase as the wall material led to a high encapsulation efficiency 88%, so was selected as the best microcapsule. However, application of chitosan with maltodextrin had lower encapsulation efficiency ~67% (P<0.05). All indices of powders (encapsulation efficiency, surface morphology and particle size) showed that powders prepared from gelatin and gelatin with MTGase increased efficiency of encapsulation and will increase stability of the microcapsules powders.
The effect of preliminary ascorbic and citric acid (AA and CA, respectively) soaking treatments on the rancidity development in Wels catfish (Silurus glanis) fillets during further frozen storage ()18°C; up to 6 months) was studied. Rancidity development was measured by biochemical quality indices (formation of free fatty acids, peroxides and secondary oxidation products) and compared with sensory analysis (appearance, rancid odour and consistency) and general chemical analyses (pH, expressible moisture and heme iron contents). When compared with control samples, AA-and CA-treated samples showed a lower (P < 0.05) formation of primary and secondary lipid oxidation compounds that was corroborated by a longer (P < 0.05) shelf-life time as a result of a lower rancid odour formation. According to these results, control samples showed a higher (P < 0.05) heme iron breakdown (months 3-6) and a lower (P < 0.05) water-holding capacity (higher expressible moisture value) (month 6).
BACKGROUND: Seafood is an important constituent of the human diet. In Iran, Indian white shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) is the major cultured shrimp species as a result of market demand, local availability and growth rate. It is mainly reared using commercial feed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing 50% of the fish oil by vegetable oils in shrimp feed on total lipid, fatty acid composition and lipid oxidation of shrimp muscle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
