Effects on Lipid Oxidation and Bioactive Properties of Rainbow Trout Fillets Fed with Barley

Barley concentrations ranging from 0% to 32% were incorporated into rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets. The effect of barley concentration on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of fish fillets were analyzed. Results showed that the inclusion of barley in rainbow trout diets had an inhibitory effect on lipid oxidation, probably associated with certain bioactive compounds in barley that could interact with scavenging and reducing metabolites involved in lipid oxidation. Concentrations up to 8% of barley produced fish fillets with high antioxidant activity and higher levels of alpha-tocopherol.     

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.     

Growth, digestibility and nutrient utilization of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles fed different dietary soybean oil levels

A shortage of marine raw ingredients, such as fish oil, is predicted in the near future. The use of suitable alternative lipid sources, such as vegetable oils, is crucial for sustainable growth of the aquaculture sector. Three isonitrogenous (50% Crude Protein) and isoenergetic (19 kJ g⁻¹) diets, in which fish oil was gradually replaced by soybean oil (0, 25 and 50% of the oil fraction) were tested for 12 weeks, using European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles. No dietary effects (p>0.05) on growth performance, feed conversion, digestibility or body composition were observed with either species. The results obtained suggest the inclusion of soybean oil up to 50% of the dietary lipid is possible, in diets for sea bass and/or rainbow trout juveniles.     

Influence of Dietary Lipid and Protein Sources on the Sensory Quality of Organic Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) After Ice Storage

The influence of dietary protein and lipid sources on the quality of organic rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was studied. The protein and oil sources were fishmeal, fish oil, and organic vegetable protein and oils. Sensory profiling was performed during 3 to 14 days of ice storage along with lipid analyses of the fillet. Overall, the results showed that the sensory characteristics of the trout were affected in different ways during ice storage. The source of lipid seemed to affect the sensory quality at the beginning of the storage period, while the protein source seemed to have a more pronounced impact at the end of the storage period.     

Comparison of Physical,Thermal and Chemical Methods to Measure Protein Denaturation in Frozen Pacific Whiting (Merluccius productus)

The potential of using the torsion test and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the effect of frozen storage on protein denaturation in fish fillets was investigated. Pacific whiting fillets were stored for 12 weeks at three temperature conditions: -20¦C, -8¦C, and at a level varying between 0 and -8¦C. Salt soluble protein (SSP) extractability and Ca++-ATPase activity were used to evaluate the torsion test and DSC. The shear strain value of the torsion test provided a good correlation with SSP extractability, Ca++-ATPase activity, and myosin transition enthalpy as measured by DSC. Therefore, shear strain can be considered as a useful tool for the determination of protein denaturation in Pacific whiting during periods of frozen storage. Because Ca++-ATPase activity, shear stress and shear strain, and myosin transition enthalpy all decreased within one week, protein deterioration in frozen Pacific whiting appears to be rapid at the temperatures tested.     

Influence of the Dietary Addition of Butylated-Hydroxytoluene and Lipid Level on the Flesh Lipid Quality of Beluga Sturgeon (Huso huso) During Frozen Storage

The main aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of dietary butylated-hydroxytoulene (BHT as an antioxidant) and dietary lipid level on flesh lipid quality of Beluga sturgeon during frozen storage. An initial 135-day feeding trial evaluated practical-type diets containing 0 or 250 mg BHT kg^?1 with two lipid levels (12 and 24% diet on dry matter basis) in a factorial arrangement. Fillet samples were analyzed fresh or after storage at ?18 ± 1°C for 12 months. Dietary antioxidant supplementation had no significant effect on fat content and fatty acid composition in the studied fish muscle, but increasing the lipid concentration in the feed increased muscle lipid concentration. Lipid oxidation in fish muscle is related to increasing lipid concentration in the feed. In addition, oxidation was reduced for fish fed BHT. Results showed that dietary BHT supplementation can slow down the level of lipid oxidation in Beluga sturgeon muscles during frozen storage, but it had a direct relationship with dietary lipid level.

为了科学地了解虹鳟鱼(Oncorhynchus mykiss)鱼片贮藏过程中的品质变化规律,以建立高效的品质控制技术,研究了虹鳟鱼鱼片在冷藏(3±1)℃和冰藏(0±1)℃条件下挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)、色泽、腺苷三磷酸(ATP)关联物、K值及菌落总数(TAC)等指标的变化,评价不同温度对虹鳟鱼片品质的影响。结果显示:虹鳟鱼片TVB-N的增长速度在冷藏条件下显著高于冰藏条件,冷藏至第9天为20.72 mg/100g,冰藏至第15天为25.76 mg/100g;冷藏至第6天TAC为7.40 lg cfu/g,冰藏至第12天TAC为8.27 lg cfu/g;与冰藏相比,冷藏条件下虹鳟鱼片K值较高;肌苷酸(IMP)含量分别在冷藏8 h(8.36μmol/g)和冰藏24 h(8.70μmol/g)达到最大值,即冷藏和冰藏虹鳟鱼片的最佳食用时间分别是宰杀后的8 h和24 h。结合各项指标变化,冷藏和冰藏虹鳟鱼片的货架期分别为6 d和12 d。     

Stability of Fish Powder Made from Saithe (Pollachius virens) as Measured by Lipid Oxidation and Functional Properties

ABSTRACT

Lipid oxidation and functional properties were monitored in spray dried fish powder made from saithe (Pollachius virens) by-products. The fresh powder exhibited slight antioxidant activity in a model system of linoleic acid emulsion. The freshly made powder had low lipid extract-ability in polar solvents and over 30% free fatty acids (FFA). Further lipid oxidation took place during storage, independent of storage temperatures. Functional properties measured by color changes, water-binding capacity, apparent viscosity and protein solubilty changed more during storage at 30°C than 0°C.     

Effect of the Inclusion of Dried Tetraselmis suecica on Growth,Feed Utilization,and Fillet Composition of European Sea Bass Juveniles Fed Organic Diets

Dried Tetraselmis suecica was evaluated as a fish protein substitute when incorporated to replace (protein basis) 10% (TETRA10) and 20% (TETRA20) of the control diet. The diets were offered to nine groups of European sea bass (72 g) over 63 days. Test diets did not affect zootechnical performances nor carcass or fillet yields and proximate analysis of edible portion. Feeding TETRA20 resulted in lower apparent digestibility coefficients of protein, lipid, and organic matter, and hepatosomatic index compared to the control diet. T. suecica was able to replace up to 20% of fish protein without hampering growth performance and major quality traits of sea bass.     

Nutrient digestibility profile of premium (category III grade) animal protein by-products for temperate marine fish species (European sea bass, gilthead sea bream and turbot)

Three trials, with classical experimental designs for in vivo digestibility studies, were conducted to determine the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of protein (ADCp), lipid (ADCl), energy (ADCe) and amino acids (AA) in selected animal by-products fed to European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax (Trial 1), gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata (Trial 2), and turbot, Psetta maxima (Trial 3). In each trial, five experimental diets [including a reference diet (RD)] where fish meal (FM) was used as the sole protein source were fed ad libitum to the fish for a period of 4 weeks. Test diets were based on the FM RD and obtained by replacing 30% of the RD with a category III designated European animal by-products (fit for human consumption), namely: steam hydrolysed feather meal (HFM), enzyme-treated feather meal (EFM), poultry meat meal (PMM) and spray-dried haemoglobin meal (SDHM). Faecal material was collected using the 'Guelph system', and nutrient and energy digestibility coefficients were related to the measurement of chromic oxide (Cr₂O₃) incorporated into the diet at a rate of 0.5%. Without any exception, FM diets yielded the best digestibility values for all macro-nutrients and by all fish. Among the test ingredients, ADCp was consistently higher for PMM and SDHM in the three species (85.5%, 91.1% in sea bass; 79.2%, 82.8% in sea bream; and 78.4%, 74.8% in turbot). Conversely, ADCp of HFM and EFM were less efficiently digested (67.2%, 68.2% in sea bass; 21.5%, 21.7% in sea bream; and 46.6%, 36.0% in turbot). However, the novel processing method applied to feather meal did not considerably influence the digestibility of most of the nutrients in this feedstuff. The current investigation yielded valuable numerical ADC for EAA considered to be of prime importance in generating balanced diet formulations.     

Consumption of feeds containing the antibiotic sulfadiazine by gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata,L.) and rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss,Walbaum)

A method for studying the efficacy of sulfadiazine as a marker to estimate feed intake is presented. Feeding studies were carried out with two species, rainbow trout as a freshwater fish model and gilthead sea bream as a marine fish model, using two temperatures and two sizes of juveniles. The study showed the different feeding behaviour observed in both species, depending on the temperature and the number of days feeding the particles with sulfadiazine, and confirmed a dominant‐subordinate behaviour especially in the case of gilthead sea bream juveniles.     

饲料中花生四烯酸水平对凡纳滨对虾免疫相关基因表达及抗菌能力的影响

为探讨饲料多不饱和脂肪酸n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值对罗氏沼虾幼虾生长性能、虾体肌肉组成、抗氧化能力、血清生理指标以及消化能力的影响,实验设计了n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值分别为0.37 (D1)、0.59 (D2)、0.93 (D3)、1.51 (D4)和4.38 (D5)的5种等氮等脂饲料饲喂罗氏沼虾幼虾8周,每组设4重复,每个重复40尾虾 。结果显示,饲料n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值对罗氏沼虾幼虾存活率 (SR)无显著影响;实验虾终末体重 (FW)、增重率 (WGR)和特定生长率 (SGR)随饲料n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值增加先升后降,均在D3组最高;且D3组虾有最大的肝胰腺蛋白酶活性及脂肪酸合成酶活性。虾体肌肉粗蛋白质、水分和灰分含量不受饲料n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值影响,但总脂肪含量在D3组显著高于其他组;各组虾体肌肉的n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值的变化趋势与饲料的n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值变化趋势呈正相关。随饲料n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值增加,实验虾血清和肝胰腺中超氧化物歧化酶 (SOD)活性、总抗氧化能力 (T-AOC)和血清铜蓝蛋白 (CP)含量均呈现先升后降趋势,并在n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值为0.93~1.51时达到最大,但丙二醛 (MDA)含量持续上升;D1组血清总胆固醇 (T-CHO)和甘油三酯 (TG)含量显著高于其他组;血清谷草转氨酶 (AST)和谷丙转氨酶 (ALT)活性先降后升,且D3组最低。研究表明,饲料适宜的n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA可显著提升罗氏沼虾生长性能和抗氧化能力,对增重率和特定生长率进行折线回归,建议罗氏沼虾幼虾饲料中最适n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA比值为0.86~0.94。

     

Studies on the Development and Quality of Fish Chiffon Cake and its Storage Stability

Thirty percent flour was substituted with dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) and unicorn leatherjacket (Aluterus monoceros) paste in a cake recipe to evaluate the quality and shelf life of fish chiffon cakes stored at 4℃ and 25℃. Proximate composition, free amino acid (FAA), aerobic plate count (APC), total volatile basic nitrogen (T-VBN), and texture profile and sensory evaluation of fish chiffon cakes were conducted. Fish paste addition increases proteins. Cakes made with dolphinfish paste had the highest FAA content, followed by the cake made with unicorn leatherjacket. Histidine is the predominant FAA in dolphinfish chiffon cake, and it is significantly higher than the other two cakes. T-VBN values and APC increased with the addition of fish paste and was lower than the upper limit of acceptable fish products during storage period. The hardness of the two fish cakes was slightly lower than the control after 1 and 2 days storage at 25℃ or 3 and 5 days storage at 4℃ and increased during storage. Sensory evaluation showed no significant differences among the ordinary cake and two fish chiffon cakes for odor, texture, flavor, and overall acceptability. Therefore, incorporation of white fish meat is feasible for chiffon cake.     

Interactive effects of dietary fishmeal level and plant essential oils supplementation on European sea bass,Dicentrarchus labrax: Growth performance,nutrient utilization,and immunological response

The inclusion of phytogenics in fish feed is a promising strategy to compensate for the negative performance effects of replacing fishmeal (FM) with vegetable sources. The present work assessed the interactive effects of different dietary FM levels (22.5 and 10% of formulation) and the supplementation of a commercial blend of anise, citrus, and oregano essential oils (Digestarom PEP M.G.E 150) on European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax growth performance, nutrient utilization, gut morphology, antioxidant status, and immunological response over a 60‐day growth trial. Results showed decreased growth and protein efficiency ratio and increased feed conversion ratio with a low dietary FM level. In contrast, supplementation of the phytogenic product demonstrated improved performance and nutrient utilization together with increased protein and energy retention. Supplementation with the plant essential oils fully compensated for the negative intestinal changes observed in sea bass fed a low‐FM diet but showed little improvement in fish immunological response, except for the 30% increase in lysozyme activity observed in fish fed the low FM‐supplemented diet compared to those fed the standard high‐FM diet. Overall, this study supports the use of this phytogenic product in low‐FM diets as a possible tool to decrease feed costs associated with FM without compromising fish performance, nutrient utilization, and health.     

Fatty acid composition,osmolality, Na+, K+‐ATPase activity,cortisol content and antioxidant status of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in response to various dietary levels of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels on the fatty acid composition, salinity tolerance and antioxidant status of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Four diets were formulated with total EPA and DHA contents of 5.41, 9.55, 13.97 and 17.88 g/kg (abbreviated as ED‐5.41, ED‐9.55, ED‐13.97 and ED‐17.88 respectively). Rainbow trout (initial weight of 90.61 ± 9.25 g) were fed the experimental diets for 8 weeks to accumulate significant differences in fatty acid composition and subsequently underwent salinity acclimation. Our results indicated that high dietary EPA and DHA significantly improved the EPA and DHA content in fish tissues. The serum osmolality of fish returned to their freshwater values in the ED‐9.55, ED‐13.97 and ED‐17.88 groups. The Na⁺, K⁺‐ATPase (NKA) activity of fish in the ED‐13.97 group changed dramatically to adapt the fish to the hypertonic environment. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the serum cortisol concentration and liver catalase (CAT) activity of fish in the ED‐13.97 group during salinity acclimation. The liver superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the ED‐13.97 group was significantly higher than that in ED‐5.41 and ED‐9.55 groups at the end of salinity acclimation. The muscle malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the ED‐13.97 group was significantly lower than that in the ED‐17.88 group before salinity acclimation and significantly lower than the ED‐5.41 and ED‐17.88 groups on day 7 of acclimation. The results of this study indicate that the rainbow trout in the ED‐13.97 group exhibited optimal salinity acclimation performance.     

Feeding behaviour of fast- and slow-growing strains of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), during first feeding

The development of feeding behaviour in two rainbow trout strains and their hybrid was compared at the transition from endogenous nutrition to exogenous feeding. After 60 min of acclimatization, the swimming pattern, spatial distribution, agonistic behaviour and snapping of fish were quantified by making 5-min observations on groups of five fish. Behavioural patterns were recorded in four replicate groups per treatment, before and after the introduction of dry trout feed or Artemia nauplii (actometric tests) or extracts of these (olfactometric tests). Fish of the slow growing strain were less active than those of the other two strains. Greater swimming activity observed in the fish of the fast growing strain was associated with more rapid feeding and a higher number of snapping responses. Such behavioural precocity is of interest because it could provide the basis for the growth differences between the fast and slow growing strains.

通过研究不同饲料维生素C(VC)含量对大口黑鲈仔鱼生长、免疫和抗氧化能力的影响,探究其维生素C最适需求量,为维生素C在大口黑鲈仔鱼饲料中的应用提供科学依据。实验设计5个实验组,分别为0(VC0)、200(VC200)、400(VC400)、800(VC800)和1600(VC1600)mg/kg。以出膜后11日(体重为1.2±0.3 mg)的大口黑鲈仔鱼为研究对象,在工厂化循环水系统进行为期3周的投喂实验。结果表明：大口黑鲈仔鱼的终末体重、增重率、特定生长率均随饲料中维生素C添加水平的提高先升高,其中VC400组数值最高。通过折线模型分析维生素C添加水平与增重率的关系,大口黑鲈仔鱼饲料中维生素C最适添加水平为421.2 mg/kg。各组生长激素和类胰岛素生长因子1的mRNA表达水平的变化趋势和生长性能基本一致。各维生素C添加组的补体浓度无显著差异,但都显著高于VC0组,补体C3与补体C4浓度均在VC1600组达到最大值。在溶菌酶含量中,VC400组、VC800组与VC1600组含量无显著差异,显著高于VC0组与VC200组。各组过氧化氢酶活性、谷胱甘肽含量、超氧化物歧化酶活性均随添加水平的提高先升高,均在VC400组取得最大值。各组的碱性磷酸酶活性和体内维生素C含量随饲料维生素C添加量的升高而升高,丙二醛含量随饲料维生素C添加量的升高而降低。综上所述,饲料中添加420mg/kg维生素C可以有效提高大口黑鲈仔鱼的生长性能、免疫性能和抗氧化性。     

Oxidative Stability of Dried Seafood Products during Processing and Storage: A Review

Drying is a traditional and important seafood processing technology. Lipid oxidation is one concern during the processing and storage of dried seafood products. Various factors including pretreatment, drying method, and storage conditions can have an impact on the oxidative stability of dried seafood products. Influence of these factors on the oxidative stability of dried seafood products as well as the possible mechanisms are reviewed. This review could serve as a reference for the production and research of dried seafood products.     

The biliary accumulation of corticosteroids in rainbow trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss,during acute and chronic stress

The accumulation of immunoreactive corticosteroids in the bile of rainbow trout during stress was monitored by radioimmunoassay and GUMS. Although plasma cortisol levels were elevated by confinement for 1 hour, biliary levels of free and conjugated steroids in the bile were unaffected. However, after 24 hours confinement, in addition to elevated plasma cortisol levels, free and conjugated steroids in the bile were also significantly higher than in control, unstressed fish. The time-course of change in plasma and biliary corticosteroid levels was determined in rainbow trout subject to 96 hours confinement stress. Free steroid levels in the bile of stressed fish were elevated within 2 hours of the onset of stress, while levels of conjugated steroids were significantly elevated within 4 hours of the onset of confinement. Analysis of bile from stressed fish, by GC/MS, established the major conjugated steroids present to be tetrahydrocortisone (230 g ml^–1 bile), tetrahydrocortisol (75 g ml^–1), cortisone (33.5 g ml^–1), cortisol (25 g ml^–1) and -cortolone (5 g ml^–1). The data are discussed with reference to the role of cortisone and conjugating enzymes in the clearance of cortisol, and further data are presented to suggest that the analysis of biliary steroid content may provide a suitable means of identifying stressed fish under conditions in which an additional sampling stress is unavoidable.     

Quality of eggs and spermatozoa of rainbow trout fed an n-3 essential fatty acid-deficient diet and its effects on the lipid and fatty acid components of eggs, semen and livers

ABSTRACT: The effect of an n-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) -deficient diet on spawning and on the lipid and fatty acid contents of eggs, semen and livers of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was investigated. Fish were split into two groups and fed either of two diets for a period of 4 months prior to the start of the spawning season. The control group was fed a commercial diet, containing n-3 EFA, whereas the experimental group was fed an n-3 EFA-deficient diet. Fish were 3 years old at the time of spawning. Eggs and semen were stripped off five females and five males from each diet group and cross-fertilized. Two of the five males fed the deficient diet showed a lower sperm motility, resulting in slightly lower mean hatching rates when crossed with eggs of either group. Higher lipid contents in the EFA-deficient diet were reflected in the egg and semen lipid contents, whereas the lipid contents of male livers of both diet groups were higher than those of female livers. In livers and eggs, the main polar lipid was phosphatidylcholine accompanied by phosphatidylethanolamine in sperm polar lipids. The non-polar lipids of eggs were mainly triacylglycerols but in livers and semen, free fatty acids and free sterols were more abundant. Essential fatty acids, namely n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids and linolenic acid, were generally lower in eggs, semen and livers sampled from the EFA-deficient diet group. These results indicate that the fertilization, eyed and hatching rates obtained from crossings with males fed the EFA-deficient diet were slightly lower because of the dietary effect on sperm motility. Moreover, lipids of eggs, semen and livers of male and female rainbow trout were influenced greatly by their dietary availability.
