Revista Brasileira de Produtos Agroindustriais, Campina Grande, v.6, n.2, p.115-122, 2004 115 ISSN 1517-8595 OSMOTIC DEHYDRATION OF MAPARÁ CATFISH (Hypophthalmus edentatus) FILLETS: EFFECT OF TERNARY SOLUTIONS Suezilde da Conceição Amaral Ribeiro1, Satoshi Tobinaga2 ABSTRACT A combination of dry salting and sun drying is one of the oldest and most important techniques of fish conservation in Brazil. Dried salted fish prepared by this method can easily be found in the Northern and Northeastern States. The main problem is the lack of process control, which can provoke lead to products with low microbiological and/or nutritional control. Mapará fillets were osmotically dehydrated according to a 24-1 fractional factorial design for each hypertonic solution (salt-sucrose and salt-corn syrup). The effects of the salt (12 to 14%) and sugar (30 to 40%) concentrations, temperature (30 to 50 C) and immersion time (6 to 12h) for both water loss (WL) and solids gain (SG) were evaluated. Through the obtained results, it was verified which type of solution resulted in greater water loss and smaller solids gain. In the design using sucrose and salt, only the sugar concentration wasn t significant for water loss and solids gain. All the effects were significant. In the design using corn syrup and salt. Keywords: osmotic dehydration, fish, ternary solutions DESIDRATAÇÃO OSMÓTICA DE FILÉS DE MAPARÁ (Hypophthalmus edentatus): EFEITO DE SOLUÇÕES TERNÁRIAS RESUMO A combinação de salga seca e secagem solar é uma das mais antigas e mais importantes técnicas de conservação de peixe no Brasil; o peixe salgado e seco, preparado a partir deste método, pode ser facilmente encontrado nos estados do Norte e Nordeste do país. O grande problema é a falta de controle de processo que pode levar a produtos com baixo nível nutricional e microbiológico. Filés de mapará foram osmoticamente desidratados de acordo com um planejamento fatorial fracionário 24-1, para cada solução hipertônica (sal-sacarose e sal-xarope de milho). Foram avaliados os efeitos da concentração de sal (12 to 14%) e açúcar (30 to 40%), temperatura (30 to 50 C) e tempo de imersão (6 to 12h) na perda de água (PA) e ganho de sólidos (SG) e a partir da avaliação dos resultados de cada planejamento, verificar que tipo de solução apresenta uma maior perda de água e um menor ganho de sólidos. No planejamento utilizando sal-sacarose, somente a concentração de açúcar não foi significativa para a perda de água e ganho de sólidos. No planejamento utilizando sal-xarope de milho todos os efeitos foram significativos.

INTRODUCTION The objective of this work was to determine the effect of ternary solutions on the A preliminary osmotic dehydration is osmotic dehydration of (Hypophthalmus often used with the objective of improving the edentatus) fillets, according to a 24-1 fractional quality of the dry food and it is not aimed a factorial design for each hypertonic solution massive water removal. This pre-treatment has (salt + sucrose and salt + corn syrup), and after a protective effect on the structure of the dried verify, which type of solution resulted in the material. The amount and rate of moisture greatest water loss and solids gain from the removal during the osmotic process depend on results of each design. some processing variables and parameters such as: type of solute and its concentration in the MATERIALS AND METHODS osmotic solution, time of immersion, temperature, etc. It was used mapará catfish species In aqueous ternary solutions which (Hypophthamus edentatus) from EDIFRIGO contain salt and sugar, the antagonistic highly localized in Santarém city in Pará state.

Nong1 and Noriyuki Satoh2* Abstract Background: The striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, is a freshwater and benthopelagic fish common in the Mekong River delta. Catfish constitute a valuable source of dietary protein. Therefore, they are cultured worldwide, and P. hypophthalmus is a food staple in the Mekong area. However, genetic information about the culture stock, is unavailable for breeding improvement, although genetics of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, has been reported. Toacquiregenomesequencedataasausefulresourcefor marker-assisted breeding, we decoded a draft genome of P. hypophthalmus and performed comparative analyses. Results: Using the Illumina platform, we obtained both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Molecular phylogeny using the mitochondrial genome confirmed that P. hypophthalmus is a member of the family Pangasiidae and is nested within a clade including the families Cranoglanididae and Ictaluridae. The nuclear genome was estimated at approximately 700 Mb, assembled into 568 scaffolds with an N50 of 14.29 Mbp, and was estimated to contain ~ 28,600 protein-coding genes, comparable to those of channel catfish and zebrafish. Interestingly, zebrafish produce gadusol, but genes for biosynthesis of this sunscreen compound have been lost from catfish genomes.

In add- ition, notes on the circumscription of the genus with a redescription of Demisdospermus anus are presented. Demidospermus spirophallus n. sp. differed from other congeners mainly because of the morphology of the male copulatory organ (MCO), which exhibited 2½ counterclockwise rings, a tubular accessory piece with one bifurcated end and a weakly sclerotized vagina with sinistral open- ing. Demidospermus prolixus n. sp. presents a counterclockwise-coiled MCO with 1½ rings, an ovate base, a non-articulated groove-like accessory piece serving as an MCO guide, two different hook shapes, inconspicuous tegumental annulations, a non-sclerotized vagina with sinistral opening and the absence of eyes or acces- sory eyespots.

Morphological structures of the vomerin and palatal teeth varied between the hybrid and both parents.

This connectivity is increasingly being disrupted by the construc- tion of dams, mining, land-cover changes, and global climate change. This review analyzes these drivers of degradation, evaluates their impacts on hydrological connectivity, and identifies policy deficiencies that hinder fresh- water ecosystem protection. There are 154 large hydroelectric dams in operation today, and 21 dams under construc- tion. The current trajectory of dam construction will leave only three free-flowing tributaries in the next few decades if all 277 planned dams are completed. Land-cover changes driven by mining, dam and road construction, agriculture and cattle ranching have already affected ~20% of the Basin and up to ~50% of riparian forests in some regions. Glo- bal climate change will likely exacerbate these impacts by creating warmer and dryer conditions, with less predictable rainfall and more extreme events (e.g., droughts and floods). The resulting hydrological alterations are rapidly degrading freshwater ecosystems, both independently and via complex feedbacks and synergistic interactions.

Luque* Curso de Pós-Graduaçăo em CiPncias Veterinárias, Departamento de Parasitologia Animal, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Caixa Postal 74508, 23851-970 Seropédica, RJ, Brasil Abstract A new species of Ergasilus von Nordmann, 1832 (Copepoda, Ergasilidae) parasitic on the gills of sea catfish, Aspistor lunis- cutis (Valenciennes, 1840) (Ariidae) from the coastal zone of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is described and illustrated. The new species is characterized by the presence of 2-segmented first endopod with rosette-like array of blunt spinules, 3-seg- mented fourth endopod, first antennulary segment with single seta and not inflated cephalosome.
