Physical and nutritional properties of baby food containing menhaden oil (Brevoortia tyrannus) and microencapsulated menhaden oil
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purified menhaden oil (PMO) was characterized and microencapsulated. Baby foods containing PMO and microencapsulated purified menhaden oil (MPMO) were evaluated and compared. PMO had higher total omega-3, total saturated, total monounsaturated, DHA, and EPA contents than MPMO. Emulsion containing PMO (EPMO) exhibited viscoelastic characteristic and droplet size of EPMO was around 2e10 mm. The DHA and EPA in the PMO were reduced in MPMO. All baby-food samples with added fish oils had similar FFA values and color. DHA and EPA of baby food were significantly increased by adding PMO and/ or MPMO. Total percent values for omega-3 fatty acids of extracted fat from commercial baby food (CB), commercial baby food containing PMO (BPMO), and commercial baby food containing MPMO (BMPMO) were 4.5, 9.8 and 10.1%, respectively. 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A molecular genetic investigation of the population structure of Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus)
Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) is an ecologically and economically important species along the U.S. East Coast. As a filter-feeder and key prey fish, it provides a critical link between primary production and larger piscivorous predators, such as striped bass (Morone saxatilis), bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix), and weakfish (Cynoscion regalis). The commercial fishery for Atlantic menhad...
متن کاملPeriodicity of increment formation in otoliths of overwintering postlarval and prejuvenile Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus
Hypotheses of fi shery recruitment pro cesses often have as their foundation studies of incremental otolith growth (e.g. Methot, 1983; Rice et al., 1987). Conclusions from these studies, however, are only as robust as their baseline otolith validation work. This is especially true for investigations on Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), an estuarine-dependent, marine-migratory clupeid ran...
متن کاملAntioxidant Properties of a Dihydromyricetin-Rich Extract from Vine Tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata) in Menhaden Oil
Preventing oxidative deterioration of fish oil is a significant challenge for the food industry. Natural antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to prevent oxidation and extend shelf life. Vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata) extract has been shown to have antioxidant activity in vegetable oils, but the efficacy in fish oil is unknown. The goal of our study was to test the antioxidant ac...
متن کاملMaternal Diet Influences Offspring Feeding Behavior and Fearfulness in the Precocial Chicken
BACKGROUND In chicken, oils in the maternal diet confer a specific scent to the yolk. Embryos are known to perceive and memorize chemosensory signals of the surrounding environment; however, the potential impact of the maternal diet has not previously been investigated. In the present study, we hypothesized that chicken embryos memorize the chemical signals of the maternal diet and that this pe...

Gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) exhibited unprecedented juvenile recruitment in 2010 during the year of the Deepwater Horizon well blowout, exceeding the prior 39-year mean by more than four standard deviations near the Mississippi River. Abundance of that cohort remained exceptionally high for two subsequent years as recruits moved into older age classes. Such changes in this dominant fora...
