Valorization of Saithe () Residuals into Protein Hydrolysates-Silaging as Preservation Technology.

Silaging can be used as preservation technology to valorize currently discarded raw material into protein hydrolysate on board deep-sea vessels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sorting and raw material freshness on the quality and yield of protein hydrolysates obtained through silaging of saithe () viscera. Additionally, the effect of using acid-containing antioxidants was tested.

Valorization of fish processing by-products for protein hydrolysate recovery: Opportunities, challenges and regulatory issues.

Protein-rich fish processing by-products, often called rest raw materials (RRM), account for approximately 60% of the total fish biomass. However, a considerable amount of these RRM is utilized for low-value products such as fish meal and silage. A promising and valuable approach for maximizing the utilization of RRM involves the extraction of bioactive fish protein hydrolysate (FPH).

Exploring the Potential of Atlantic Mesopelagic Species Processed on Board Commercial Fishing Vessels as a Source of Dietary Lipids.

This study investigates the use of untapped mesopelagic species as a source of long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) to meet the growing demand. The challenges faced by commercial fishing vessels, such as varying catch rates and species distribution affecting lipid levels, are addressed. Marine oils were produced post-catch using thermal separation and enzymatic hydrolysis during four commercial cruises, screening approximately 20,000 kg of mixed mesopelagic species.

Comparative study on composition and functional properties of brewer's spent grain proteins precipitated by citric acid and hydrochloric acid.

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is an abundant agro-industrial residue and a sustainable low-cost source for extracting proteins. The composition and functionality of BSG protein concentrates are affected by extraction conditions. This study examined the use of citric acid (CA) and HCl to precipitate BSG proteins.

Physico-Chemical Properties and Nutrition of Marine Lipids.

Marine lipids, especially long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, play important roles in human nutrition and health [...

Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Orange-Footed Sea Cucumber ()-Effect of Different Enzymes on Protein Yield and Bioactivity.

While sea cucumber is a food delicacy in Asia, these food resources are less exploited in Europe. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and potential food applications of the less exploited orange-footed sea cucumber (). In particular, the antioxidative capacity and free amino acids associated with the umami flavor released by enzymatic hydrolyses by either Bromelain + Papain (0.

Silage for upcycling oil from saithe () viscera - Effect of raw material freshness on the oil quality.

The main objective of this study was to investigate how the freshness of saithe () viscera affected the quality, composition and yield of oil obtained by silaging. Minced viscera with and without liver were stored separately for up to 3 days at 4 °C before silaging at pH 3.8 for 6 days at 10 °C.

Upgrading Marine Oils from Cod () On-Board the Deep-Sea Vessels-From Waste to Value.

Significant amounts of marine raw material are lost on-board the deep-sea vessels due to fast quality degradation. Optimal on-board handling and processing strategies can upgrade these resources from waste to food ingredients rich in nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of raw material freshness and sorting on the quality, composition and yield of oil produced thermally from cod () residuals on-board a commercial trawler.

Nutritionally Enriched Muffins from Roselle Calyx Extract Using Response Surface Methodology.

, often called Roselle, is a flowering plant with a variety of traditional medicinal uses. Its calyx, with a bright and attractive red color, produces a tart and pleasant acidic taste. The purpose of this study was to develop a Roselle muffin and assess the acceptability, nutrition, and shelf life of the muffin using its ingredients.

Effect of Different Drying Methods on the Nutritional Value of Calyces as Revealed by NMR Metabolomics.

Red mature calyces of were collected from 16 different locations in Meghalaya, India. Samples were processed using shade drying (SD) and tray drying (TD). NMR spectroscopy was used to assess the metabolic composition of the calyces.

Inhibitory effects of kiwifruit extract on human platelet aggregation and plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme activity.

Previous human studies suggest that supplementation with kiwifruits lowers several cardiovascular risk factors such as platelet hyperactivity, blood pressure and plasma lipids. The cardiovascular health benefit of fruit and vegetables is usually attributed to the complex mixture of phytochemicals therein; however, kiwifruit's cardioprotective factors are not well studied. In this study, we investigated the effects of kiwifruit extract on human blood platelet aggregation and plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity.

Effects of similar intakes of marine n-3 fatty acids from enriched food products and fish oil on cardiovascular risk markers in healthy human subjects.

There is convincing evidence that consumption of fish and fish oil rich in long-chain (LC) n-3 PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA), EPA (20 : 5n-3) and DHA (22 : 6n-3) reduce the risk of CHD. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether n-3 LCPUFA-enriched food products provide similar beneficial effects as fish oil with regard to incorporation into plasma lipids and effects on cardiovascular risk markers. A parallel 7-week intervention trial was performed where 159 healthy men and women were randomised to consume either 34 g fish pâté (n 44), 500 ml fruit juice (n 38) or three capsules of concentrated fish oil (n 40), all contributing to a daily intake of approximately 1 g EPA and DHA.

High resolution NMR for studying lipid hydrolysis and esterification in cod (Gadus morhua) gonads.

High resolution NMR was applied to study biochemical changes of lipids in cod (Gadus morhua) gonads during 7 days storage at 4 degrees C. Changes were observed in the (13)C and (1)H resonances of cholesterol which were due to esterification of fatty acids at the hydroxyl position in roe and milt. Furthermore, the (13)C NMR spectra showed that the lipolytic changes in milt and roe where different.

Fatty acid and lipid class composition in eyes and brain from teleosts and elasmobranchs.

The fatty acid and lipid class composition of the eyes and brain were determined for the following species: Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), saithe (Pollachius virens), redfish (Sebastes marinus), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Portuguese dogfish (Centroscymnus coelolepis), black dogfish (Centroscyllium fabricii), and leafscale gulper shark (Centrophorus squamosus). Fatty acid analyses of eyes from teleosts in the present study indicated that the lean species contained high ratios of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) versus eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and high ratios of n-3 fatty acids versus n-6 fatty acids, while these ratios were significantly lower for the fatty fish species. The lipid class analyses revealed that among both elasmobranchs and teleosts, phospholipid was the dominant class of lipids in the eyes of lean species, while triacylglycerol was the dominant class of lipids in fatty species.
