Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition | 1982

Based on a review of various production principles of fish silage, this paper discusses the prospects of introduction of this method, as an alternative to fish meal, to utilize low value fish and waste products, particularly in developing countries. The paper covers the biochemistry, microbiology, and nutritional aspects of fish silage, as well as production technology and economy.

Storage of frozen fish brings about a decrease of extractability of myofibrillar proteins. There is also deterioration of the texture and functional properties of the flesh. In model systems, aggregation of myosin, actin, tropomyosin, and whole myofibrils have been described. These changes are caused by concurrent action of partial dehydration due to the freezing out of water, exposure of the proteins to inorganic salts which are concentrated in the remaining nonfrozen fluid, interactions with free fatty acids liberated from phospholipids and with lipid oxidation products, and cross-linking by formaldehyde produced in some species of fish as a result of enzymic decomposition of trimethylamine oxide. The extent of protein alterations increases with time and temperature of storage as well as with advanced disintegration of the tissues and intermixing of their components. The role played by the individual factors and the significance of different types of bonds, i.e., hydrophobic adherences, ionic bonds, and covalent cross-links in particular cases are not yet fully disclosed. Retardation of the deteriorative changes of proteins in frozen fish is possible by avoiding high storage temperatures and oxidation of lipids, removing hematin compounds and other constituents promoting cross-linking reactions, and by adding cryoprotectors like sugars, several organic acids, amino acids, or peptides.

Kinetic models were developed to predict the microbial spoilage and the sensory quality of fresh fish and to evaluate the efficiency of a commercial time-temperature integrator (TTI) label, Fresh Check(R), to monitor shelf life. Farmed turbot (Psetta maxima) samples were packaged in PVC film and stored at 0, 5, 10 and 15 degrees C. Microbial growth and sensory attributes were monitored at regular time intervals. The response of the Fresh Check device was measured at the same temperatures during the storage period. The sensory perception was quantified according to a global sensory indicator obtained by principal component analysis as well as to the Quality Index Method, QIM, as described by Rahman and Olley [Rahman, H.A., Olley, J., 1984. Assessment of sensory techniques for quality assessment of Australian fish. CSIRO Tasmanian Regional Laboratory. Occasional paper n. 8. Available from the Australian Maritime College library. Newnham. Tasmania]. Both methods were found equally valid to monitor the loss of sensory quality. The maximum specific growth rate of spoilage bacteria, the rate of change of the sensory indicators and the rate of change of the colour measurements of the TTI label were modelled as a function of temperature. The temperature had a similar effect on the bacteria, sensory and Fresh Check kinetics. At the time of sensory rejection, the bacterial load was ca. 10(5)-10(6) cfu/g. The end of shelf life indicated by the Fresh Check label was close to the sensory rejection time. The performance of the models was validated under fluctuating temperature conditions by comparing the predicted and measured values for all microbial, sensory and TTI responses. The models have been implemented in a Visual Basic add-in for Excel called Fish Shelf Life Prediction (FSLP). This program predicts sensory acceptability and growth of spoilage bacteria in fish and the response of the TTI at constant and fluctuating temperature conditions.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses about the abalone, an esoteric food. Abalone is the American name for large marine gastropods of the family Haliotidae. The anatomy of the abalone is explained briefly. Asian peoples, notably the Chinese and Japanese, are the main consumers of abalone, and this shellfish is thought to have aphrodisiac properties. The chemical composition is discussed at length. It covers the proximate analysis, effects of size and season, proteins, amino acids, nucleotides, and other UV–absorbing extractives, lipids, compounds containing sugars, naturally occurring pigments, volatile bases, and miscellaneous compounds. The catching and handling of abalone at sea is discussed. The physiology of abalone in air is presented. The chapter describes the technology of preserving abalone such as freezing, brining, canning and drying. It also discusses on the quality aspects—such as—texture, flavor, odor, and appearance. A discussion on the by–products of abalone processing is provided. The most exciting avenue for future work will be on the research on abalone as a protective food

Abstract The fatty acid composition of lipids isolated from the depot fat, stomach contents, and proventricular oil of adult and chick Puffinus tenuirostris (Temminck) has been analysed. The diet of both adults and chicks is almost exclusively derived from the euphausiid Nyctiphanes australis Sars, and an attempt was made to determine whether dietary lipid affects the composition of depot fat, and whether individual fatty acids in the stomachs and proventricular oil can be used as markers for the origin of the diet. An apparent selectivity in the deposition of fatty acids in the fat depots can be explained by the conversion of fatty alcohols, derived from the euphausiid wax ester, into fatty acids of equivalent chain length and unsaturation. Hexadecadienoic acid appeared to be the only possible marker fatty acid from the euphausiid, but wide variations in its level limits its usefulness as a reliable index of the diet of Puffinus tenuirostris .

Abstract Confusion over concentrations of food contaminants calculated on the basis of wet or dry weight of the material leads to unnecessarily alarmist responses. Fish may contain 80 per cent water so that dry weight concentrations are five times greater than the concentration received by the consumer.
