Influence of chitosan/clay functional bionanocomposite activated with rosemary essential oil on the shelf life of fresh silver carp

A combination of chitosan biopolymer, nanoclay and rosemary essential oil was prepared as a functional bionanocomposite (FBN). Its ability to improve the shelf life of refrigerated (4 ± 1 °C) silver carp fillets was studied. The fresh fillets were left untreated as a control or coated with chitosan, chitosan/clay bionanocomposite and chitosan/clay/rosemary essential oil (Ch/clay/REO) FBN. Then, they were evaluated for chemical, microbial and sensory properties over 16‐day storage. The samples coated with the FBN had the lowest pH and total volatile basic nitrogen. Ch/clay/REO coating efficiently retarded lipid oxidation by decreasing peroxide, free fatty acid and thiobarbituric acid production in the samples. The coating also reduced total viable and psychrotrophic count of the fillets more than 1.5 log by the end of storage.     

Effect of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) muscle hydrolysates and fish skin hydrolysates on the quality of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) during 4 °C storage

Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) skin and muscle were hydrolysed, respectively, and then used as part of an edible coating to preserve fish. The effects of muscle and skin hydrolysates as edible coatings for shelf life extension of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were evaluated over 18 days at 4 °C, by comparing these two treatments, a chitosan coating with muscle hydrolysate, chitosan alone, and an untreated control. All coatings were made up with 5% glycerol. The quality of the carp was assessed by using total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB‐N), total viable counts (TVC), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and K value. Compared with the control group, the rate of increase in TVB‐N, TVC, TBA and K value of carp coated with fish skin hydrolysates, fish muscle hydrolysates and chitosan added to fish muscle hydrolysates were lower. According to the total viable counts, the storage life of fish with fish skin hydrolysates coatings and chitosan added fish muscle hydrolysates coatings were 16 days, 2 days longer than those with the chitosan coatings and twice as long as the control group.     

Physicochemical,microbiological, and sensory attributes of chitosan-coated grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) fillets stored at 4°C

This study investigated the effect of chitosan coating (1 and 2%) on the quality of grass carp fillets stored at 4°C for 20 days. During storage, the physicochemical properties (pH, thiobarbituric acid value, total volatile basic nitrogen value, trimethylamine nitrogen value, K-value, water loss, and instrumental texture), microbiology (total viable count and psychrotrophic count), and sensory properties were evaluated. The results showed that chitosan coating could effectively inhibit bacterial growth, improve physicochemical and sensory qualities, and it reduced the deterioration of the quality of grass carp fillets. Compared with fillets without chitosan coating, the shelf life of fillets with 1 and 2% chitosan coating was extended by ~3 and 6–7 days, respectively.     

Effect of chitosan–Jicama starch coating on changes in qualities of fresh Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fillets during ice storage

The effect of chitosan (0.5%)/Jicama starch (0%–4%)‐based edible coating on the quality of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fillets was evaluated over ice storage time. All samples were periodically analysed for pH value, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB‐N), electrical conductivity (EC), total viable counts (TVC), total psychrotrophic counts (TPC), drip loss, colour, hardness and sensory characteristics. Results demonstrated that the quality of Nile tilapia fillets was preserved by the film containing chitosan and/or Jicama starch. Compared with chitosan coating alone (0.5% chitosan/0.25% glycerol) (P < 0.05), T3 (0.5% chitosan/1% Jicama starch/0.25% glycerol) had a better effect on the drip loss, TBA, TVC, TPC, hardness and sensory characteristics of the samples, thus indicating that low Jicama starch concentration (1%) enriched the coating ability of chitosan in extending the shelf life of Nile tilapia fillets.     

光照和温度对草鱼和三文鱼鱼肉贮藏品质的影响

采用4、10(无光照)、10(5 000 lx)、25℃条件,同时贮藏草鱼鱼片(除去红肉)和三文鱼鱼片,研究光照和温度对草鱼和三文鱼贮藏品质的影响。结果表明,草鱼和三文鱼贮藏过程中pH值、挥发性盐基氮(total volatile basic nitrogen,TVB-N)值、硫代巴比妥酸(thiobarbituric acid,TBA)值和色差变化差异显著(P0.05),且菌落总数(total viable count,TVC)、pH值、TVB-N值、TBA值、色差、ATP分解产物(adenosine triphosphate-related decomposition products)K值均随着贮藏时间的延长而增加。光照(5 000 lx)对于草鱼、三文鱼贮藏过程中的pH值变化、TBA值变化影响显著(P0.05),能使鱼肉中pH值增加量高于避光保存,促进光氧化,提高TBA值增加速率,而对于TVC、TVB-N值、K值、色差变化影响不显著(P0.05)。贮藏温度的差异(4、10℃)对两种鱼肉品质变化都有显著影响(P0.05)。     

植物精油-EVOH活性包装膜对草鱼鱼肉保鲜效果的研究

分别以2%葡萄籽精油、2%丁香精油、1%葡萄籽精油＋1%丁香精油为活性成分,乙烯-乙烯醇共聚物为基膜材料,用挤出吹塑法通过共混、吹塑等工艺制备活性保鲜薄膜,考察薄膜的基本性能。在冷藏（4±1） ℃条件下对草鱼鱼肉进行保鲜,并以挥发性盐基氮（total volatile basic nitrogen,TVB-N）含量、细菌总数、pH值、硫代巴比妥酸（thiobarbituric acid,TBA）值、持水率以及质构为鲜度指标对保鲜效果进行评价。结果表明：配比为1%葡萄籽精油＋1%丁香精油活性成分制成的活性薄膜对鱼肉具有最佳的保鲜效果,使草鱼鱼肉在（4±1） ℃条件下保鲜达8 d。     

Antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of clove oil on sliced smoked Oncorhynchus mykiss

The antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of clove oil (Eugenia caryophyllata) on sliced smoked rainbow trout fillets were evaluated during storage at 2 °C. Smoked fillets were divided into four groups: a control (C0) without clove oil, a second group with 0.1 % (v/w) clove oil (C0.1), a third group with 0.5 % (v/w) clove oil (C0.5) and the fourth group with 1 % (v/w) clove oil (C1). Results showed that significantly higher values of TBA (thiobarbituric acid) and PV (peroxide value) as well as microbiological growth (p < 0.05) could be observed for the control group. In addition, the shelf life of smoked fish treated with clove oil (C0.5 and C1) has extended by 4–5 weeks compared to the control samples. As a result, clove oil can be utilized as natural preservative for smoked fish under chilled storage.     

包装方式对冰温保鲜脆肉鲩鱼片品质的影响

将生鲜脆肉鲩鱼片分别用臭氧充气、CO2充气和真空3种方式包装,于冰温(-0.5℃)下保藏,研究包装方式对脆肉鲩鱼片品质的影响。结果表明,随储藏时间延长,菌落总数、挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)、硫代巴比妥酸(TBA),肉质渗出率随贮藏时间的延长而增大。包装方式对鱼肉菌落总数、TVB-N、TBA和肉汁渗出率的影响有显著差异。臭氧充气包装和CO2充气包装效果优于真空包装,臭氧充气包装鱼片,品质好于其他两种包装方式。     

Combined Effect of Polyphenol‐Chitosan Coating and Irradiation on the Microbial and Sensory Quality of Carp Fillets

Irradiation can extend the shelf‐life of fish, but it may cause unacceptable change on quality. Since rose polyphenols have high antioxidant and antibacterial activities, this study evaluated the combined effect of polyphenol‐chitosan coatings and irradiation (3 kGy) on the microbial and sensory qualities of carp fillets during storage at 4 °C. A dose of 3 kGy irradiation reduced the initial total viable counts (TVC) and psychrophiles, and increased the initial b^* and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values. During storage, TBARS, TVC and psychrophiles of nonirradiated samples increased faster and were higher than those irradiated. Regardless of irradiation treatment, samples coated with chitosan containing rose polyphenols had lower TBARS, pH and bacteria than that in no coating or chitosan coating batches. Carp treated with combined treatment could preserve an acceptable sensory quality at the end of storage. The result indicated that polyphenol‐chitosan coating combined with irradiation can maintain fish quality by preventing bacterial growth, oxidation, and changes in color and sensory acceptability.     

Effect of gelatin coating incorporated with cinnamon oil on the quality of fresh rainbow trout in cold storage

Cinnamon essential oil was used in gelatin coatings to maintain the quality of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets over a period of 20 days. Fish fillets were coated with a solution of 4% gelatin incorporated with cinnamon essential oil and then stored in refrigerator (4 ± 1 °C). Coating’s preservative effect was assessed periodically (every 5 days) by microbial analyses (aerobic plate count and psychrotrophic count), chemical determinations (total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid, free fatty acid) and sensory characteristics. When gelatin coating with cinnamon applied to the preservation of trout fillets, a reduction in the growth of total bacteria was observe after 15 days of storage. Fish fillets with gelatin coating containing 1%, 1.5% and 2% v/v cinnamon oil produced significantly lower (P < 0.05) total volatile basic nitrogen then gelatin‐coated fillets and control until 15 days of storage period (35, 22.86, 30.33, 57.76 and 53.26 mg per 100 g of fillet, respectively). The obtained results indicate that gelatin in the form of coating enriched with cinnamon oil is suitable for the preservation of rainbow trout fresh fillets and to efficiently maintain the quality attributes to an acceptable level during storage.     

The function of endogenous cathepsin in quality deterioration of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fillets stored in chilling conditions

Changes of textural properties and cathepsin activity of grass carp fillets during storage in superchilling (?1.5 ± 0.2 °C) and ice (0.2 ± 0.1 °C) was investigated, and the function of cathepsin in quality deterioration of grass carp fillets was discussed. Results showed that shear force of superchilled and ice‐stored fillets decreased by 50% and 55% after 6 days of storage, respectively. The cathepsin activies in different fractions changed significantly during storage at both conditions. Cathepsin B, B+L activities in sarcoplasma, myofibrillar and heavy mitochondrial fraction significantly increased during the early 3 days postmortem, accompanied by remarkable reduction of corresponding activity in lysosome. Cathepsin D activity in sarcoplasma and myofibrillar significantly increased during 6 days of storage with corresponding decrease in lysosome and heavy mitochondria. Correlation analysis showed that changes of shear force of grass carp fillets were significantly correlated with integration of cathepsin B, D and B+L throughout storage time (r² > 0.94). As derived from the first‐order exponential decay model, the enzyme efficiencies (k_a) of cathepsin B and B+L were more than twofold higher than those of cathepsin D, suggesting the major role of cathepsin B and B+L in textural deterioration of grass carp fillets in chilling storage.     

The impacts of tomato residuum extract with Arabic gum and dill essential oil on the shelf life improvement of trout fillets stored at chilly condition

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of tomato residuum extract (TRE) dipping and Arabic gum (AG) coating enriched with dill essential oil (DEO) on the shelf life extension of refrigerated trout fillets. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the main constituents of DEO were alpha-phellandrene (30.17%), limonene (28.31%), and carvone (21.31%). Antioxidant activities of acetone, ethanol, methanol, cold, and hot water extracts of tomato residuum were examined using reducing power and 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid assays in maceration, ultrasound, and combined ultrasound and maceration extraction methods. The strongest antioxidant activities were found in the ultrasound-assisted extraction with ethanol 50%. Thiobarbituric acid, total volatile basic nitrogen, and peroxide values indicated that TRE 3%–AG–DEO 2% and TRE 6%–AG–DEO 2% treatments could significantly (p ≤ .05) extend the shelf life of the fillets. Also, sensory evaluation showed that TRE along with DEO had significant (p ≤ .05) pleasant effects on the sensory characteristics of the fillets. It was concluded that TRE dipping along with AG coating containing DEO could be a suitable alternative for the synthetic preservative in the refrigerated trout fillets.     

Broad‐spectrum inhibition of proteolytic enzymes by allicin and application in mitigating textural deterioration of ice‐stored grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fillets

The inhibitory effect of allicin on proteolytic enzymes and textural deterioration of ice‐stored grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fillets was investigated. The results of in vitro study showed that allicin inhibited the activity of cathepsin B, L and D, calpain and collagenase in crude extract of grass carp muscle. Among endogenous enzymes, cathepsin B, L and collagenase were the most susceptible to allicin. Proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins by either crude enzyme or cathepsin B and L was almost prevented by allicin when employed at a concentration higher than 100 mm . After storage of 21 days, shear force of fillets treated with allicin at 10–100 mm was 39–51% higher than that of control. Myofibrillar proteins of fillets during storage were well protected against degradation when allicin concentration increased to 100 mm , as evidenced by SDS‐PAGE. Therefore, allicin could be a potential broad‐spectrum inhibitor to retard softening of fish fillets via mitigating myofibrillar proteolysis by endogenous enzymes especially cathepsin B and L during ice‐storage.     

The impact of collagen on softening of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fillets stored under superchilled and ice storage

The objective of this work was to study the impact of collagen on softening of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fillets during chilled storage. The fillets were stored under superchilling (?1.5 ± 0.2 °C) and with ice (0.2 ± 0.1 °C) for 21 days, and texture properties, collagen and the related enzyme activities were measured. Results showed that firmness and collagen content were strongly influenced by storage temperature and time. Fillet firmness decreased by 32.3% (superchilling) and 49.6% (ice stored) of the initial values after 3 days of storage, respectively. Total collagen content decreased with time, but different collagen fractions showed variations. Collagen degraded to different extents depending on storage conditions as indicated by SDS‐PAGE and amino acid analysis. In addition, collagenase activity declined significantly during the first 3 days, followed by a slow increase. This study demonstrated that collagen degradation was involved in grass carp fillet softening and provided useful information for fillet quality improvement.     

Grass carp peptides hydrolysed by the combination of Alcalase and Neutrase: Angiotensin‐I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity,antioxidant activities and physicochemical profiles

In this study, grass carp peptides were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of grass carp protein using the combination of Alcalase and Neutrase, and angiotensin‐I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in vitro, antihypertensive activity in vivo, antioxidant activities, and physicochemical properties of peptides achieved from grass carp protein were characterised after ultrafiltration and desalted processes using mixed ion exchange resins. The purified peptides exhibited strong ACE inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ = 105 μg mL^?1), antihypertensive activity with the maximal drop for systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 43 mmHg at a dosage of 100 mg per kg body weight in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), and antioxidant activities indicated by thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substance values in a liposome‐oxidising system, radical‐scavenging activity and chelation of metal ions (Fe²⁺). The molecular weight of peptides was <1000 Da. Compared to grass carp protein, the peptides separated from enzymatic hydrolysates possessed similar amino acid compositions, but contained higher concentrations of essential amino acids. Moreover, the peptides exhibited excellent solubility at a wide range of pH values from 2 to 10, and lower apparent viscosity than the protein. The peptides separated from enzymatic hydrolysates might be used as a promising ingredient in antihypertensive functional foods and nutraceuticals.     

APPLICATION OF CHITOSAN TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF KAMABOKO GELS MADE FROM GRASS CARP (CTENOPHARYNGODON IDELLUS) DURING STORAGE

Chitosan was added to kamaboko gels made from grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idellus ), and the effects on preservation quality were determined by biochemical (pH, total volatile basic nitrogen [TVBN], thiobarbituric acid [TBA], peroxide value) and microbiological (total bacterial count) determinations during storage at 4C. Application of chitosan, at a level of 1% (w/w), exhibited a beneficial effect on inhibiting lipid oxidation and bacterial growth in the gels. The preservative function was related to the molecular weight of chitosans. Relative low molecular weight chitosan showed a higher antioxidant capacity than high molecular weight chitosan. However, mixture of 300 and 10 kDa chitosans exhibited the highest antibacterial activity. Increases of pH, TVBN, TBA and peroxide values in gels during storage were significantly reduced when chitosan was applied. The present study provides a possible application of chitosan as a food additive for surimi-based foods.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Surimi-based product processing is an effective way to utilize freshwater fish with low commercial value, but the shelf life of surimi products is quite limited. Therefore, preservatives are commonly added to surimi products to extend the shelf life. This research has investigated the effect of chitosan, a natural preservative and antioxidant, on maintaining the quality of grass carp gels during storage at 4C. Results showed that chitosan could inhibit the growth of microorganism and prevent lipid oxidation, which was related to the molecular weight of chitosans. The present study should provide a possible application of chitosan as a natural food additive for surimi foods.

Effect of anchovy by-product protein coating incorporated with thyme essential oil on the shelf life of anchovy (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Engraulis encrasicolus</Emphasis> L.) fillets

The effects of anchovy by-product protein coatings incorporated with thyme essential oil (TEO) on the shelf life of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus L.) fillets stored at 4 ± 1 °C were investigated. We grouped fillets in three categories: untreated fillets, fillets treated in coating solution alone, and fillets treated in coating solution containing 1.5% TEO and analyzed on 0, 3, 6, and 9 days of storage. It was observed that the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and pH of all the fillet groups increased under cold storage conditions; however, this increase was much slow in both the coated anchovy fillets. Both coating applications slowed down the lipid oxidation but the coating containing TEO exhibited better effect than coating alone. The coating application alone or with essential oil had limited effect on microbial growth but positively affected the sensory quality. These results revealed that anchovy by-product protein coating mixed with TEO may prolong anchovy fillets’ shelf life stored under cold condition.
