Influence of domestic freezing on the biochemical composition and mineral contents of fish muscles

Abstract: The freezing of fish at (-18°C) in the freezer compartment of a domestic refrigerator for 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks influenced the biochemical composition and mineral contents of the muscles. The chemical analysis of the muscles of the studied fish recorded high values (% dry weight) of protein, fat and ash contents and moisture for the fresh samples and there was a significant (P<0.05) decrease at the end of the eight weeks of freezing fish. The relationship between the four components of fresh and frozen Tilapia m… Show more

“…The study concluded that frozen storage leads to a loss of nutrient quality in fishes during the processing. Sharaf (2013) studied the influence of freezing fish at -18°C in a domestic refrigerator on the biochemical composition of the muscles. The chemical analysis of the muscles of the studied fish recorded high values of protein, fat and ash contents and moisture for the fresh samples and there was a significant (P<0.05) decrease at the end of the eight weeks of freezing fish.…”

“…attributed the considerable variations among minerals during storage to the leaching of the minerals during the dewatering and washing stages. MahmoudSharaf (2013) found no clear relationship between the mineral contents and the different freezing periods of Tilapia muscles at −18°C. Similarly, Arannilewa et al (2005) observed slight changes in minerals and attributed that to the drip loss and the dehydration associated with frozen storage.…”

“…No significant differences were found in the ash values of the abdominal and dorsal muscles after freezing (Tables 1 and 2). According to Sharaf [21], the reduction of ash content is a result of the process of thawing and loss of moisture. Gandotra et al…”
