Characteristic and shelf life of fish sausage: fortification with fish oil through emulsion and gelled emulsion incorporated with green tea extract

Abstract

BACKGROUNDSilver carp (Hypophthalmichthys moltrix) fish sausages incorporated with three forms of refined cod liver oil (as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids: fish oil, oil‐in‐water emulsion (E), gelled oil‐in‐water emulsion (G)) and lyophilized aqueous extract of green tea (Camellia sinensis; 700 and 900 mg kg−1) were developed. The composition, technological properties (cooking loss, pH, texture, and color), sensory analysis, and microbial and oxidative stability of fish sausages during storage (4 °C) were evaluated.RESULTSLower value of cooking loss and thiobarbituric acid value were observed by addition of fish oil in emulsions forms. The incorporation of green tea showed no significant differences in preventing oxidation in related samples. Gelled‐emulsified fish oil had better textural properties, including hardness and decreased springiness of the sausages. The G and E sausages showed higher values of lightness (L*) than the control did. Emulsification had no significant effect on total viable count. Panelists could not distinguish between samples incorporated with fish oil whether in emulsified, gelled‐emulsified, or control. Gelled‐emulsified treatments were awarded higher scores by panelists for all of the sensory attributes (P < 0.05). Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid quantities significantly increased from control (0.48 mg g−1 and 0.46 mg g−1 sample respectively) to the enriched batches (>1.50 mg g−1 sample). The lowest ratio of ω6 to ω3 in batches was observed for gelled‐emulsified samples.CONCLUSIONOverall, the addition of free fish oil affected the properties of the sausages. The gelled‐emulsified treatment was a suitable fish oil delivery system in fish sausages, which maintained sensory properties during refrigerated storage.

Effects of cod liver oil fortification on the quality aspects of mince sausages from Indian Major Carp ( Labeo rohita )

“…The addition of CLO in mince sausages did not influence (p > .05) the pH of the sausages in the present study and is considered within a normal range in products. Similar pH values were reported for control and fish oil containing silver carp sausages on the initial day of storage (Pourashouri et al, 2020). In contrast to the present results, Cáceres et al (2008) reported that an increase in pH was related to the pre-emulsion components such as caseinates used for the incorporation of fish oil in a Spanish bologna-type sausage.…”

Encapsulated Food Products as a Strategy to Strengthen Immunity Against COVID-19

“…The intake of fatty acids can also promote the growth and functioning of the immune system (40,142,222,226). To increase ω-3 fatty acid content, Pourashouri et al (143) introduced fish oil into fish sausage. There are some benefits to the use of fish oil-loaded nanoemulsions (as opposed to bulk oils) to enhance processed ω-3 fatty acid in meat and fish-based food products.…”
