Enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction of fish oil from Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) with special reference to emulsion-formation, extraction efficiency, and composition of crude oil.

Enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction (EAAE) is a green, and scalable method to produce oil and protein hydrolysates from fish. This study investigated the role of different parameters on emulsion formation, oil recovery, and the composition of crude oil during EAAE of Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras). Fatty acid compositions, lipid classes, tocopherols, and oxidation status of the EAAE crude oils were studied.

Enzyme-Assisted Extraction of Fish Oil from Whole Fish and by-Products of Baltic Herring ().

Baltic herring () is one of the most abundant commercially caught fish species from the Baltic Sea. Despite the high content of fat and omega-3 fatty acids, the consumption of Baltic herring has decreased dramatically over the last four decades, mostly due to the small sizes and difficulty in processing. At the same time there is an increasing global demand for fish and fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Green technologies for production of oils rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from aquatic sources.

Fish and algae are the major sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). Globally, there is a rapid increase in demand for n-3 PUFA-rich oils. Conventional oil production processes use high temperature and chemicals, compromising the oil quality and the environment.

Influence of enzymatic treatment on the chemical composition of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) juice.

The effects of different enzymes, their dosages, and incubation times on juice yield and chemical composition of lingonberry juice were assessed. Nonvolatile composition including sugars, acids and phenolic compounds (anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonols and flavan-3-ols) was analyzed using GC-FID, LC-DAD and LC-MS methods, whereas the volatile compound profile was examined using HS-SPME-GC-MS. Selection of the enzyme had a significant effect on the juice yield by increasing it from 70% without enzyme treatment up to 81%.

Characterization and Quantification of Nonanthocyanin Phenolic Compounds in White and Blue Bilberry () Juices and Wines Using UHPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS and UHPLC-DAD.

The nonanthocyanin phenolic compounds in juice and wine produced from fruits of white bilberry, a nonpigmented mutant of , and blue bilberry (pigmented variety) were analyzed using liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (LC-DAD) and LC-DAD-electrospray ionization-quadrapole/time of flight hybrid mass spectrometry (ESI-QTOF-MS). On the basis of elution order, UV-vis spectra, accurate mass data, and fragmentation pattern and standards, 42 compounds including 22 phenolic acids, 15 flavonols, and 5 flavan-3-ols, were identified in juices and wines prepared from the two bilberry varieties. The levels of most individual nonanthocyanin phenolic compounds in white bilberry products were significantly lower than those in pigmented ones.

Comparison of Volatile Composition between Alcoholic Bilberry Beverages Fermented with Non- Yeasts and Dynamic Changes in Volatile Compounds during Fermentation.

The profile of volatile compounds was investigated using headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) during bilberry juice fermentation with nine non- yeasts, including , , , , , , , , and . Dynamic changes in volatile compounds were determined simultaneously with the development of ethanol concentration during fermentation. or produced more ethyl acetate than other yeast strains throughout fermentation, while fermentation with resulted in high accumulation of higher alcohols.

Changes in the volatile profile, fatty acid composition and other markers of lipid oxidation of six different vegetable oils during short-term deep-frying.

Oil deterioration during deep-frying influences the quality of fried foods to a great extent. In this study, the frying performance of six vegetable oils, i.e.

Effects of processing and storage conditions on volatile composition and odor characteristics of blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) juices.

Blackcurrant juices were prepared without enzyme (NEB-juice) and with conventional enzyme-aided berry pressing (EB-juice). Juices were pasteurized and stored at ambient temperature (in light and dark conditions) and at +4 °C for a 1-year period of time. Volatile composition and odor attributes were followed by HS-SPME-GC-MS and a sensory panel, respectively.

Bulk industrial fruit fibres. Characterization and prevalence of the original fruit metabolites.

Here we analysed the content of primary and secondary metabolites in nine types of industrially processed fibres derived from the juice industry. Specifically, we examined fibre from: apple, peach, and pear, as non-citrus fruits; the peel and flesh of orange and tangerine, and lemon flesh, as citrus fruits; and carrot, as vegetable. Regarding primary metabolites, the sugar content ranged from 21.

Profiles of Volatile Compounds in Blackcurrant ( Ribes nigrum) Cultivars with a Special Focus on the Influence of Growth Latitude and Weather Conditions.

The volatile profiles of three blackcurrant ( Ribes nigrum L.) cultivars grown in Finland and their responses to growth latitude and weather conditions were studied over an 8 year period by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas-chromatographic-mass-spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis. Monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes were the major classes of volatiles.
