Sodium citrate, sodium erythorbate, sodium citrate plus sodium erythorbate, sodium citrate plus sodium erythorbate, and polyphosphate were used in washed and unwashed channel catfish mince. Washing reduced (P # 0.05) lipids and increased (P # 0.05) Hunter 'L' value (lightness) of mince. Thiobarbituric reactive substances and free fatty-acid changes during frozen storage were reduced in the washed mince. Addition of antioxidants did not significantly improve the overall quality and shelf-life of the frozen mince. Washing did not have an effect on the fatty-acid composition of neutral and phospholipids in the mince.
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.
