Dried squid muscle had dense and firm microstructure, and high FIR intensity resulted in more compact and coherent structure of dried squid. Generally, HPD in combination with FIR did not induce significant loss of amino acid quality in the dried squid fillets. Ó 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1.

  • Changes in Tissue Proteinase Activity of Indian Mackerel Upon Curing in Brine and Salt
    CHANGES IN TISSUE PROTEINASE ACTIVITY OF INDIAN MACKEREL UPON CURING IN BRINE AND SALT by LEEMA JOSE, P. SEEMA NAIR and M.R RAGHUNATH Biochemistry and Nutrition Division, Central Institute of Fisheries Technology Matsyapuri PO, Kochi - 682 029, INDIA ABSTRACT Autolytic activity in the muscle of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) cured in saturated brine and dry salt, was monitored at pH 3, 4, 9 and 10 along with weight loss, moisture, salt and a- amino nitrogen, at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48h of curing. The fish lost 14 to 29% of the initial weight after 48h of curing, in brine and dry salt, respectively. Correspondingly the moisture decreased from 76 to 57% in brine cured and 52% in dry salted fish. Salt content in the muscle increased from 1% to 14.82 and 13.32% in the case of brine cured and dry salted mackerel respectively, with slower uptake of salt in the latter because of the lesser surface area in contact. Tissue proteinases were activated initially in all cases when salting commenced, with higher activation in the case of pH 3 and 4. But subsequently increasing salt concentrations.suppressed the autolytic activity. Autolytic proteinases in the mackerel muscle were suppressed between 37 to 78% of their original activity in case of the brine cured fish and between 36 to 74% in the dry salted fish, at the pH assayed. Concentration of a-amino nitrogen in the muscle increased initially in both types of curing at 3 h, but decreased later on. Autolytic activity assayed in the presence of salt containing buffers showed that at 10-20% salt level, (the concentrations prevailing in fish after 48h salting), 36-71% of the original tissue proteinase activity was still intact, which can affect cured product quality.

  • The Sea Fisheries of Eastern North America
    THE SEA FISHERIES OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICA. INTRODUCTORY. In the present work I propose to give some account, as far as known, of the more important fishes of the Eastern United States north of Delaware Bay, together with an account of the methods by which they are pursued, captured, and utilized, as also of their application, with some statistical tables illustrating the results of the fisheries in the region referred to. For the better elucidation of the subject, I also propose to embrace a reference to corresponding fisheries in Europe and other parts of the • world, so far as these throw light upon the American species. A limitation of the subject to the region north of Delaware Bay is made, partly in view of the fact that the fisheries of that region are much more important in an economical point of view, and can be better monographed at present, and partly because this is the portion of Eastern North America which is embraced in the Washington 'treaty, and of which the information referred to is needed for the proper con- sideration of the international, political, and economical treatment of the subject.* " In confining attention in the present article specially to the subject of the fish- eries of the region covered by the treaty of Washington, it is not to be supposed that there are no productive fisheries on a largo scale further south, the contrary being quite the fact. No portion of the globe exceeds the Southern and Gulf coasts of the United States in the number and variety of excellent food-fish, their waters teeming with them throughout the year and permitting their capture, especially in the cooler seasons, to almost any imaginable extent.

  • Preservation of Marine Products by Salting and Drying
    PRESERVATION OF MARINE PRODUCTS BY SALTING AND DRYING by NORYATI ISMAIL (M.Sc., University of Nottingham) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES March 1990 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 2 1 MAk 1991 LIBRARY ABSTRACT Dried, salted morwong, shark and sardine salted in saturated brine at 30°C and dried at different temperatures under ambient RH were prepared. Dried squid was prepared without salting. Salt uptake was very rapid and highest in shark followed by morwong and sardine. Moisture loss was highest in sardine followed by shark and morwong. Squid attained the highest drying rates amongst all the species and at 50°C its rate was the highest followed by shark, morwong and sardine. A drying temperature of 50°C gave a compromise between product quality and drying rates. Lightly salted products were significantly (p < 0.01) prefe^ed in all species. Products dried at lower temperatures were significantly more acceptable (p < 0.01) for shark and sardine but not for morwong and squid. Products salted for 8h (morwong and sardine) 4h (shark) and non-salted (squid) and dried at 50°C were used for storage studies. Storage at 5°C was superior to that at 25°C or 37°C in terms of product appearance, browning, rancidity, moisture loss, product texture and rehydration behaviour. The effects of salting, drying and storage on the protein properties were demonstrated by decreased protein solubility in KCl and SDS + B mercoptoethanol, disappearance and lost intensity of some bands in the IEF pattern of water soluble proteins in all the species.

  • Traditionally Preserved Fish Products Are Largely Confined to East And
    Traditionally preserved fish products are largely confined to east and south-east Asia which are still produced principally on a cottage i,ndustry or domestic scale (Adams, 1998). As commonly applied, the term 'fermented fish' covers two categories of product (Adams et a/., 1985): (i) fish-salt formulations, e.g. fish sauce products such as the fish ' . pastes and sauces tend to contain relatively high levels of salt, typically in the range 15-25% and are used mainly as a condiment; and (ii) fish­ salt-carbohydrate mixtures, e.g. pla-ra in Thailand and burong-isda in the Philippines. In hot countries, particulady in rural areas, fermented fish products continue to play a vital role in adding protein, flavour and varietY to rice-based diets (Campbell-Platt, 1987). Table (A) summarises some of the corrimon traditionally processed fish ,~Jroducts of Asia. Among the fermented fish products, the more widely used are fish sauces and pastes (van Veen, 1965; Orejana, 1983). In the fish-salt­ carbohydrate product, lactic fermentation occurs and contributes to the ex.tended shelf life (Adams et a/., 1985; Owens and Mendoza, 1985). Lactic acid fermented products can be prepared in a shorter time than the fish-salt products, which depend primarily on autolytic processes I , and offer greater scope for low-cost fish preservation in South East Asia than the simply, low water activity products (Adams et a/., 1985). The pri~cipal carbohydrate source used in these traditional lactic fermented products is cooked rice, although in some products partially s~ccharified rice (mouldy rice: ang-kak, or pre-fermented rice) is used or, on occasion, sniall amounts of cassava flour, or cooked millet, e.g; sikhae in Korea (Lee, 1984).
