0 ℃冷藏条件下鲢阻抗特性与鲜度变化的相关性

为了更好地了解0 ℃冷藏条件下鲢（Hypophthalmichthys molitrix）鱼体的阻抗特性与鲜度的变化规律及相关性,建立鱼体鲜度快速检测方法,分别测定了鲢鱼片的品质指标[菌落总数、肌苷和次黄嘌呤浓度总和/ATP关联物浓度总和（K值）、汁液损失、感官评价]以及鲢鱼体的阻抗变化率（Q值）,分析了Q值与各品质指标的相关性。结果显示,随贮藏时间的延长,鱼片的菌落总数、K值和汁液损失率逐渐增加,感官评分和鱼体的Q值逐渐减小。第15天鱼片的菌落总数为（6.85±0.07）log cfu·g-1,K值为（63.97±1.93）%,汁液损失率为（6.26±0.01）%,感官评分为10.0±1.4分,Q值为（22.92±2.60）%,此时鱼片失去食用价值。Q值与菌落总数、K值、汁液损失和感官评价的相关系数R分别为0.972、0.976、0.945和0.984（P〈0.01）,表明Q值与各鲜度指标具有良好的相关性。在0 ℃贮藏条件下用Q值可快速、无损伤地评估鲢鲜度。     

不同种类酵母抽提物对调理乌鳢鱼片风味及品质的影响

为探究添加不同种类酵母抽提物对生鲜鱼片风味及质构的影响,实验以调理乌鳢鱼片为原料,通过同时蒸馏萃取法(SDE)提取挥发性成分,利用GC-MS联合电子鼻、电子舌对6组调理乌鳢鱼片(空白对照CK组、FA02组、KU012组、FG10组、FA39组和F55组)进行风味成分分析,再结合感官、色度和质构进一步评价了6组调理乌鳢鱼片的品质。结果显示,CK组检测出42种挥发性物质,而添加5种酵母抽提物后(FA02、KU012、FG10、FA39、F55),挥发性物质的种类显著增多,分别为60、66、56、52、46种。鱼片中主要特征挥发性物质为醛类,如庚醛、癸醛以及(E, E)-2, 4-癸二烯醛等;添加不同种类酵母抽提物后,各组鱼片挥发性物质增加了(E)-4-癸烯醛、2-壬酮和3-壬烯-2-酮等。其中KU012组挥发性物质种类及含量增加最多,如具有清新气味的(E)-2-戊烯醛、黄瓜味的(E, Z)-2, 6-壬二烯醛以及提高整体风味的(Z)-2-(2-戊烯基)呋喃。电子鼻和电子舌的测定结果显示,各酵母抽提物组与CK组在气味、滋味方面存在显著差异。相对于CK组,添加酵母抽提物调理的乌鳢鱼片色泽呈浅黄,质构略有降低,但感官评分有所升高。研究表明,不同种类酵母抽提物均能一定程度改善调理乌鳢鱼片的风味、质构及感官品质,其中KU012组综合表现最佳。本研究为酵母抽提物在水产品中的调味应用提供了参考,具有实践价值。     

冷藏大西洋鲑背腹部鱼片脂肪氧化变化规律及货架期模型的建立

以冷藏三文鱼背腹部鱼片为研究对象,定期取样测定其在冷藏过程中与脂肪氧化相关的酸价(Acid Value, AV)值、过氧化值(Peroxide Value, POV)和硫代巴比妥酸值(Thiobarbituric Acid Value, TBA),结合感官评价,探究冷藏三文鱼背部、腹部鱼片在贮藏过程中的脂肪氧化变化规律并建立基于脂肪氧化指标的货架期预测模型并进行验证。结果表明：三文鱼背部、腹部鱼片的AV值、POV值以及TBA值都随贮藏时间延长而呈现增加的趋势,感官评价得分一直降低,腹部鱼片比背部鱼片变化更加明显,且温度越高脂肪氧化指标变化越显著。将冷藏三文鱼背部、腹部鱼片的脂肪氧化指标用一级化学反应动力学模型拟合后发现：POV值、TBA值与一级化学反应动力学模型有很好的拟合效果(R2>0.90);AV值与一级化学反应动力学模型有较好的拟合效果(R2>0.82)。用Arrhenius方程建立冷藏温度下三文鱼背部、腹部鱼片AV值、POV值、TBA值与贮藏时间、贮藏温度的动力学模型具有很高的拟合精度(R2>0.90)。建立的动力学方程中背部AV值、POV值和TBA值的活化能EA分别为：47.309 KJ/mol、81.611 KJ/mol、35.560 KJ/mol,腹部的活化能EA分别为：77.628 KJ/mol、55.686 KJ/mol、19.399 KJ/mol。建立的三文鱼背部、腹部鱼片的预测货架期模型经验证后发现,脂肪氧化指标的预测值与实际值相对误差在(±10.60)%内,因此该模型能很好的预测冷藏温度下三文鱼片的货架期。     

草鱼感官品质与生化组成关系分析

【目的】为了建立草鱼品质综合评价体系,【方法】以三种养殖模式下的草鱼作为实验材料,进行了生、熟品尝评价和营养成分检测,对影响感官品质的主观感受(品尝)与客观因素(营养成分含量)进行分析。【结果】结果表明,在养殖模式间差异性方面,生鱼肉感官评价全部评价指标以及熟食评价的土腥味差异极显著(P0.01),熟食评价的凝聚性、弹性、咀嚼性等项差异显著(P 0.05);营养成分差异不显著(P 0.05);呈鲜味氨基酸差异显著(P 0.05)。在感官品质指标对综合评价的影响方面,回归分析表明,凝聚性对熟食综合评价结果影响最大(标准化系数为0.547),其次是咀嚼性(-0.442),而硬度(-0.109)和弹性(0.111)影响较小;组织形态对生鱼肉综合评价影响最大(0.659),其次是硬度(0.630),影响最小的是色泽(-0.211)和气味(-0.288)。相关分析结果表明,熟食各指标间弹性与硬度、弹性与咀嚼性、弹性与土腥味相关系数均达到极显著水平(P 0.01);生鱼肉各指标间相关系大部分均达到极显著水平(P 0.01),尤其是组织形态与黏胶性(在生鱼肉中相关系数为0.813)、生鱼肉组织形态与色泽(0.803)、色泽与气味(0.795)。对营养品质与感官品质关系分析,粗脂肪对熟食综合评价影响最大,其次是水分;粗脂肪对生鱼肉综合评价影响最大,其次是灰分。【结论】因此,不论是营养组成还是感官品质均可通过利用不同养殖模式来进行改善。同时,该实验的研究结果为提高养殖草鱼风味、品质提供了基础数据,为下一步水产养殖精准化打下了基础。

俄罗斯鲟烟熏鱼片营养品质分析及评价

以俄罗斯鲟(Acipenser gueldenstaedtii)为原料,制备并分析了烟熏鱼片(冷熏和热熏鱼片)的主要营养成分和物理特性,并对两者的品质进行了比较。结果表明:(1)两种熏鱼片的一般营养成分含量为:水分含量59.73%~69.44%,粗蛋白43.98%~50.51%,脂肪含量33.50%~36.54%,灰分含量1.68%~2.14%,且两种熏鱼片一般营养成分含量均没有显著性差异;(2)氨基酸和脂肪酸组成与含量上,两种熏鱼片均检测出19种氨基酸,其必需氨基酸和鲜味氨基酸含量分别为23.75%~24.25%和23.41%~23.79%,总体上氨基酸营养价值两者间没有差别,仅EAAI冷熏鲟鱼片的略高于热熏鲟鱼片。在熏鱼片中检测到18种脂肪酸,热熏鲟鱼片的饱和脂肪酸要高于冷熏鲟鱼片,而不饱和脂肪酸则略低于冷熏鲟鱼片,其中DHA含量显著低于冷熏鲟鱼片(P0.05),其它脂肪酸均无显著性差异。(3)在质构特性方面,热熏鲟鱼片的硬度、弹性、内聚性和咀嚼性都要高于冷熏鲟鱼片,表明热熏鱼片更有嚼劲。(4)在颜色上,热熏鱼片的亮度(L)和色度角(H*)值要显著低于冷熏鱼片,而饱和度(C*)显著高于冷熏鲟鱼片,即热熏鲟鱼片的颜色较暗,同时肉质偏红,冷熏鱼片的肉质偏黄,且比热熏鱼片颜色淡。质构特性和颜色的差异主要是由于冷熏和热熏过程中不同的干燥和烟熏温度有关。综合分析表明,烟熏鲟鱼片营养价值较高,综合感官评价好,具有较高的市场开发价值。     

鲤鱼冷藏中的鲜度变化与货架期

以感官、化学和微生物为指标,研究了养殖鲤鱼在0℃(冰藏)、5℃、10℃和15℃贮藏过程中的鲜度变化和货架期,并对菌落总数、嗜冷菌、假单胞菌、挥发性盐基氮与感官评价的一致性程度进行了探讨。结果表明,在0℃、5℃、10℃、15℃的贮藏过程中,鲤鱼的高品质期分别为426 h、189 h、95 h和58 h,货架期分别为713 h、382 h、146 h和87 h。各温度高品质期终点和货架期终点时菌落总数分别为6.63±0.45 lg cfu/g、7.18±0.29 lg cfu/g,假单胞菌数分别为5.69±0.75 lg cfu/g、6.50±0.33 lg cfu/g,挥发性盐基氮均值分别为9.90±0.52 mg/100 g、20.52±0.34 mg/100 g。各温度下高品质期终点和货架期终点时各指标均值均无显著差异(P0.05),表明菌落总数、假单胞菌和挥发性盐基氮作为鲤鱼低温贮藏的鲜度指标与感官鲜度评价有较好的一致性。     

鳙在不同保藏温度下的鲜度变化

为了阐明不同保藏温度对淡水鱼类鲜度变化的影响,采用K值、TVB-N、细菌总数和感官检定等 4种鲜度指标,对鳙在 20℃～-3℃范围的 5种不同温度贮藏中的鲜度变化进行比较系统的测定和考察。结果表明:(1)鳙的鲜度变化。在20℃和10℃常温下速度很快,保鲜期从数小时到4天;在 0℃前后的3种低温下速度变慢,保鲜期最长的可达 11天。(2)4种鲜度指标中,以感官的一、二、三级为基准,K 值的一、二级鲜度大体高于或等于感官的一、二级;而 TVB-N 一、二级鲜度(也包括细菌总数)则大体相当于或低于感官二、三级,显示了K值作为代表鱼体死后早期高鲜度等级的特征。(3)计算K 值变化速度常数 k_f 值表明 20℃的 K值变化速度较 10℃高6.3倍,而10℃较0℃仅高3.9倍,显示保持接近 0℃的低温,能明显抑制K值的变化,保持较好的鲜度。文中并指出了在5℃以下的低温范围,由于TVB-N 的数量水平偏低,似不适于作为鳙一类淡水鱼鳞度指标,认为在我国采用 K 值鲜度指标更适合淡水鱼高鲜度质量标准的要求。

Effect of Freeze-Chilled Treatment on Flavor of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) Fillets and Soups During Short-Term Storage

ABSTRACT

In order to evaluate the effect of chilled (T1), frozen (T2), and freeze-chilled (T3) treatment on the flavor of grass carp fillets and soups, adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-related compounds, umami-taste amino acids (UTAA), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), peroxide value (PV), and soup sensory score were analyzed. Results showed that the sum of ATP, ADP, and AMP contents in T2 fillets were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than others, but the sum of hypoxanthine riboside (HxR) and hypoxanthine (Hx) contents for T2 fillets and soups were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than others during storage. The T3 fillets and soups had lower inosine 5-monophosphate (IMP) contents than T1 after Day 2, but higher UTAA contents than T1 during storage. The T3 fillets had the highest TBA and PV values among the three groups during storage. According to the total aerobic counts, K value, and sensory score, all the fillets and soups kept good quality during storage. Therefore, freeze-chilled treatment not only can extend fish shelf life but also retain excellent fish flavor.     

The Effects of Chitosan Coating on Biogenic Amines Inhibition and Microbial Succession of Refrigerated Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) Fillets

Chitosan coating and plastic wrap coating were investigated for their effects on the quality of grass carp fillets stored at 4 ± 1ºC for a period of 20 days. The fillets were divided into groups of untreated (Control), wrapped with sterile preservative film (PE), and chitosan-treated (1, 2, and 2.5% w/v corresponding to CH1, CH2, and CH2.5, respectively). The final result demonstrated that chitosan coating has positive effects on the microbial inhibition of total volatile count (TVC), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, H₂S-producing bacteria (including Shewanella putrefaciens), and Staphylococcus. With regard to the results of biogenic amines (BAs), putrescine (PUT) and histamine (HIS) were the major amines, and their concentration was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in Control and PE than in chitosan-coated fillets at the end of storage. The final concentration in Control, PE, CH1, CH2, and CH2.5 was 143.7, 160.1, 83.0, 59.4, and 44.2 mg/kg for PUT and 228.0, 57.1, 4.1 3.2, and 2.9 for HIS, respectively. Chitosan coating was found to inhibit the increase of total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), microbial population, and total BAs and prolong the shelf life of grass carp fillets. However, sterile plastic wrap coating had little positive effect on maintaining the quality of grass carp fillets during refrigerated storage.     

Effect of different types of descaling methods on shelf life of air-/vacuum-packaged common carp (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cyprinus carpio</Emphasis> L.) fillets under refrigerated storage conditions

Microbiological quality, sensory attributes and consumer preferences of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) fillets descaled by four different methods under two storage conditions (air packed and vacuum packaged) and refrigerated storage conditions were studied. Farmed common carps (scaly and mirror), of marketable size (2.2 kg, 3 years old), were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n = 10), and filleted and fillets were processed by four descaling methods: without skin, without scales, undercut scales and mirror carp (without any other treatment). Microbiological analyses were determined by total viable counts (TVCs) in logarithm of colony-forming units per gram (log CFU/g), and sensory quality of fillets was classified by odour, flavour, after taste and consistency on storage days 0, 3, 6 and 9. Vacuum packaging conditions affected the growth of microbiota and extended the shelf life of fillets in all experimental groups. Microbial communities grew to between 3.19–3.90, 4.03–6.00 and 6.35–8.28 log CFU/g after 3, 6 and 9 days of storage, respectively, and fillets without skin showed the lowest TVC among all analysed groups throughout storage. Also sensory analyses showed that consistency and odour of carp fillets were influenced by packaging conditions as well as descaling methods. The survey on consumer preferences of carp found out that 58.9 % of customers preferred scaly carp with undercut scales and processed to fillets instead of mirror carp. The results of present study show that different types of descaling methods combined with air/vacuum packaging can significantly prolong the shelf life of carp fillets.     

Depuration and starvation improves flesh quality of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Farmed grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) at commercial size were transported to a natural lake for long‐term depuration while being food deprived. The effect of depuration time on the quality of fish fillets was investigated based on proximate compositions, textural parameters and flavour characteristics. The results showed that protein and lipids, but not carbohydrates, were the major source of energy for grass carp during depuration and starvation. Textural parameters that included hardness, springiness, gumminess and cohesiveness increased significantly after depuration, as well as water‐holding capacity of fish muscle. Taste and odour characteristics of grass carp muscle were obviously changed by depuration based on tests by an electronic tongue and nose. Off‐flavour volatile compounds, such as nonanal and hexanal, were reduced after depuration. In conclusion, the quality of grass carp fillets was improved effectively by long‐term depuration and food deprivation. More than 20 days of depuration was appropriate for the enhancement of grass carp quality before marketing.     

短时间微流水处理对池塘养殖草鱼鱼肉品质的提升作用

以池塘养殖草鱼为对象,采用室内微流水系统处理草鱼,研究处理时间(0、1、4、7和10 d)对草鱼鱼肉基本营养组成、滋味特征和滋味成分、气味特征和气味成分、感官评分的影响,以评价短时间微流水处理对草鱼鱼肉品质的提升作用。结果显示,微流水处理对草鱼鱼肉的基本营养成分、滋味成分、气味成分和感官评分均有显著影响。随着微流水处理时间延长,草鱼鱼肉中脂肪和总糖含量显著下降、灰分含量显著增加,但鱼肉中蛋白质含量无明显差异。滋味分析仪(电子舌)和气味分析仪(电子鼻)检测结果表明,微流水处理能显著改变草鱼鱼肉的滋味特征和气味特征。处理后的草鱼鱼肉中IMP、鲜味氨基酸(天冬氨酸和谷氨酸)、甜味氨基酸(丝氨酸和丙氨酸)、苦味氨基酸(亮氨酸和异亮氨酸)含量显著增加,而其总挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)、二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)等含量显著减少。微流水处理4 d的草鱼鱼肉气味评分、滋味评分和色泽评分显著高于处理0和1 d的草鱼样品,而与处理7和10 d的草鱼样品无差异。研究表明,短时间微流水处理能有效提升草鱼鱼肉品质,适宜处理时间为4 d,处理后的草鱼鱼肉腥味明显减弱、鲜味明显增强。     

Effect of High Pressure Processing on the Quality and Endogenous Enzyme Activities of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) Fillets Stored at 4ºC

ABSTRACT

This study assessed effects of high pressure processing on physicochemical quality and endogenous enzyme activities of grass carp fillets stored at 4 ºC for 21-day storage. Fresh fillets were vacuum-packed and subjected to high pressure processing (0.1, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 MPa at room temperature for 15 min). Results showed that high pressure processing significantly delayed microbial growth, and reduced total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels of grass carp fillets, especially for the 600 MPa group. On the 21st day, the corresponding increases of 6%, 35%, 45%, 43%, and 53% in hardness were observed for 200 MPa, 300 MPa, 400 MPa, 500 MPa, and 600 MPa samples compared with control samples, respectively. In addition, enzyme activities in different groups decreased during storage. Among them, calpain, and myofibril-bound serine proteinases (MBSP) activities were immediately reduced after high pressure treatments, while the activities of collagenase, cathepsin B, and cathepsin D were significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited when the pressure exceeded 400 MPa. However, the pressure treatments activated cathepsin L initially, and then the activity gradually decreased in treated samples. Generally, high pressure processing reduced activities of most of the endogenous enzymes and improved the quality and extended the shelf life by at least 4 ~ 6 days of refrigerated grass carp fillets.     

Textural and Sensory Properties of Fish Sausage from Rainbow Trout

The aim of this study was to determine the textural and sensory properties of fish sausage which were prepared from refrigerated and frozen rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss) and stored for 14 days at 0?4 °C. These two groups of sausages were compared for texture, physical, and sensory properties by carrying out texture profile analysis (TPA), shear test, water holding capacity (WHC), cook loss, color, and sensory analyses. According to TPA and shear test, sausages prepared from frozen fillets exhibited a texture significantly (p < 0.05) weaker than those prepared from refrigerated fillets, but no difference in overall liking was observed.     

Effect of Chitosan and Garlic Essential Oil on Microbiological and Biochemical Changes that Affect Quality in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) Fillets During Storage at 4°C

Solutions of chitosan (2%, w/v), garlic essential oil (5%, v/v), and their combination (2%, w/v chitosan +5%, v/v garlic essential oil) were applied to the surface of grass carp fillets. Subsequently, sensory, microbiological analyses (total viable count (TVC), Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., and H₂S-producing bacteria), and physicochemical changes (total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and centrifugation loss) of grass carp fillets were evaluated over a 16-day storage at 4 ± 1°C. The treated samples resulted in significantly (p < 0.05) higher overall acceptance scores than the control from day 8. The TVC of grass carp fillets was reduced from the initial level (4.0 log CFU/g) to 2–3 log CFU/g when the fillets were treated with either garlic essential oil or chitosan solution. After 4 days of storage, the Pseudomonas spp. counts in the chitosan-treated samples were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the counts in control and samples treated with garlic essential oil. A lag phase of 6 days for the counts of H₂S-producing bacteria of fish fillets that were treated with chitosan or the combination solution was observed. The combination of chitosan with garlic essential oil did not show synergistic effects, although it displayed a higher degree of antimicrobial efficacy with respect to the spoiled bacteria. However, the combination of chitosan with garlic essential oil was the most effective at inhibiting the formation of TVB-N. Samples that were treated with garlic essential oil displayed the highest TBARS levels on days 4 and 6 (p < 0.05).
