More on Developing Fish Paste With Improved Biological Value

Abstract

In the context of the organization of proper nutrition of the population of Russia, regardless of belonging to any physiological group, taking into account the eating behavior of a modern person, the research has been carried out to expand the range of fish pastes by modifying their recipes. The goal has been achieved by combining raw materials of different origins and reducing the mass fraction of table salt. Experimental studies were carried out to substantiate the recipe compositions of pastes based on grass carp meat, the optimal proportion of calcium-phosphate mineral supplements was defined, a comparative analysis of organoleptic indicators of quality, chemical composition and energy value of the obtained products was conducted. It has been stated that the introduction of 2.5% of phosphate-calcium food additives into paste recipes No. 4 and 
 5 did not adversely affect the organoleptic quality indicators. The pastes produced according to recipes No. 4 and No. 5, which include grass carp meat (48%), chicken liver (10%), vegetable components (17%), calcium-phosphate mineral supplement (2,5%) and flavoring substances, can be recommended for mass nutrition of the population of Russia. The ratio of these components provides the high organoleptic properties and improved nutritional value. The inclusion of fish pastes enriched with vegetable components, chicken by-products, phosphate-calcium mineral supplements, differing in chemical composition, in the diet allows balancing the diet for proteins, fats, amino acids, vitamins, macro- and micronutrients and preventing from eating disorders and, in the result, reducing morbidity of population in the Russian Federation.

Specialized food products of increased biological value on a fish basis

“…Therefore, minced fish from carp obtained by traditional technology was used as the main object of study. Our studies of the chemical composition of minced fish showed that it contains more than 17% protein and up to 4.5% fat, which confirms its use as the main component of pies intended for nutrition of athletes [6].…”
