Investigation of Some Quality Criteria of Catfish (Siluris glanis) Balls Enriched with Chia and Flaxseed

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine some quality criteria of catfish (Siluris glanis) fishballs enriched with flax and chia seeds at different rates (4% and 8%). For this purpose, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), psychrotrophic bacteria, yeast-mold counts, thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values and sensory levels on certain days of storage (1, 7 and 14 days) of fishballs investigated in terms of quality parameters. According to the results of microbiological analysis, the number of bacteria in the fishball samples enriched with flax and chia seeds was found to be lower than the control group samples, and an increase was detected in all groups in parallel with the storage period (p
