Protein hydrolysate from yellowfin tuna red meat as fortifying and stabilizing agent in mayonnaise.

Present study addresses the fortification of mayonnaise with fish protein hydrolysate by partial replacement of egg yolk in the product. Red meat of yellowfin tuna (), a by-product from tuna canning industry was used as the source of protein hydrolysate (TPH). Substitution of egg yolk with hydrolysate imparted noticeable fish flavor to the product only at higher levels of replacement (50% and above).

Tuna red meat hydrolysate as core and wall polymer for fish oil encapsulation: a comparative analysis.

Microencapsulation by spray drying is a well-accepted technique for fish oil stabilization. However, severe operational conditions during atomisation destabilise the emulsion, leading to capsule collapse and induction of auto-oxidation. Hence, use of food grade cross-linkers to strengthen the wall material and antioxidants to prevent lipid oxidation has been suggested.
