To improve the antioxidant activity of grass carp hydrolysate, washing and membrane removal pretreatments and ultrasonic treatment were applied in this study. Various pretreatment methods (washing methods and membrane removal methods) for removing the prooxidants and phospholipid in minced fish were evaluated. The effects of ultrasonic treatment prior to enzyme hydrolysis on the antioxidant activities of minced carp hydrolysate were investigated. The minced carp subjected to washing with 0.4% NaCl solution and subsequent membrane removal with CaCl2 and citric acid solution had the lowest content of prooxidants and phospholipid remaining in the minced fish. The hydrolysate produced from washing/membrane removal pretreated carp with ultrasonic treatment for 20 min had the highest ferric reducing antioxidant power and scavenging activities against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2?-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals. This suggested that the combination approach of washing/membrane removal pretreatment and ultrasonic treatment could improve the antioxidant activity of carp hydrolysate, and this hydrolysate could be a potential antioxidant ingredient for functional foods. |
