Fatty Acid Profile and Mineral Composition of Red-Toothed Triggerfish (Odonus niger) Landed in Karnataka, Southeastern Arabian Sea.

The seasonal and sex-wise variations in fatty acid and mineral composition in the tissue of Odonus niger collected from the Karnataka coast, southeastern Arabian Sea, were evaluated for the first time. The fatty acid profile was assessed using gas chromatography, nutritional indices were employed to evaluate lipid quality, and standard methods were utilized to estimate mineral composition and heavy metals. Palmitic acid (20.

Physical and chemical characteristics of Asian sea bass bio-calcium powders as affected by ultrasonication treatment and drying method.

The effects of ultrasonication and drying method on particle size and other product characteristics of bio-calcium powder from Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) backbone were investigated. Ultrasonication was performed at different amplitudes (60%, 70%, and 80%) for varying periods (15 and 30 min). Ultrasonication at higher amplitudes for a longer time reduced the powder particle size more effectively (p < .

Chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles for indicating temperature abuse in frozen stored products.

The present study aimed to optimize the conditions for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) using chitosan and to assess its effectiveness as temperature threshold indication for frozen storage conditions. Chitosan concentration of 0.25% and temperature of 90 °C for 15 min was optimum for synthesizing AuNP.

Heat penetration attributes of milkfish () thermal processed in flexible pouches: a comparative study between steam application and water immersion.

The difference in the heating penetration characteristics of product processed in retort by steam-air application and water immersion was studied. Fresh milkfish () packed in dry pack and in oil medium, both in flexible pouches, was thermal processed to minimum value of 7.77 at 121.
