This study aimed to investigate the effect of different cooking materials on some physical, nutritional, and sensory characteristics black scorpionfish (Scorpaena porcus) meat. To achieve this aim, scorpion fish fillets were divided into four groups as open-roasted (control), oven bag cooked (Group A), baking paper wrapped B) aluminum foil C). All in an electrical oven. The nutritional amino ac...

Effect of sodium alginate coating enriched with horsemint essential oil (HEO) on the quality of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) fillets at refrigeration temperature (4 ± 1°C) was studied. Bighead carp fillets were coated with neat sodium alginate (SA) and sodium alginate containing 0.5 and 1% v/v of HEO and their quality changes in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), peroxide va...

Five hundred broiler males were grown to 56 d and processed under common terms. Front halves were deboned 24 h postmortem to obtain breast fillets, and CIELAB light reflectance was measured on the skin side of each fillet 24 h later. All fillets were bagged and frozen (-20 degrees C) for 5 mo. Then the fillets exhibiting the lowest (dark), median (normal), and highest (pale) L* values 48 h post...

The breakdown products of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), inosine monophosphate (IMP), inosine (Ino) and hypoxanthine (Hx) of some fish species and heated fish products were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and rapid paper strip method. The K value, calculated from ATP degradation products, the percent of the s...

As concerns mount over the human health risks associated with consumption of fish contaminated with persistent organic pollutants, there exists a need to better evaluate fish body burdens without lethally sampling many of the important commercial and sport species of interest. The aim of this study was to investigate two novel methods for estimating organic contaminants in fish that are a conce...

This article focuses on the consumption of fish in Qatar and its health benefits for those living in the region. The nutritional value of fish from traditional fishing areas such as the UK has been much discussed but this article addresses the value of fish from warmer regions. Samples of popular fish were purchased from the local market in Qatar and were then analysed for levels of major nutri...

In the last years a large number of different measurement methodologies were applied to measure the freshness of fishes. Among them the connection between freshness and headspace composition has been considered by gas chromatographic analysis and from the last two decades by a number of sensors and biosensors aimed at measuring some characteristic indicators (usually amines). More recently also...

Raw broiler breast fillets were subjected to germicidal ultraviolet (UV) light (dose of 1,000 microW/cm(2) for 5 min at a wavelength of 254 nm) to evaluate its potential to reduce Listeria monocytogenes numbers on raw product before shipment to a poultry further-processing plant. Boneless, skinless breast fillets were inoculated with 4 different strains of L. monocytogenes 5 min before treatmen...
