The demand for farm-raised channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) has grown tremendously in recent years due to year round availability, consistent quality, and healthy attributes of catfish. In 1993, over 459 million tons of catfish were produced in the United States (Anon., 1994). As this industry has grown, so has the amount of offal, trimmings, and other solid waste generated and the need to...

Changes in pigments and color of sardine and mackerel muscles during iced storage were investigated. When the storage time increased, a gradual increase in pH was observed. The total extractable pigment and heme iron content decreased (P<0.05), while the non-heme iron content tended to increase throughout storage. The soret band of myoglobin decreased with the concomitant decrease in redness in...

OBJECTIVE (i) To determine the Na content of commonly consumed fast foods in New Zealand and (ii) to estimate Na intake from savoury fast foods for the New Zealand adult population. DESIGN Commonly consumed fast foods were identified from the 2008/09 New Zealand Adult Nutrition Survey. Na values from all savoury fast foods from chain restaurants (n 471) were obtained from nutrition informatio...

Since the destruction of testosterone by liver mince (1) is accelerated by the addition of either diphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPN) or citrate (2), an attempt has been made to obtain active cell-free extracts from liver tissue and to isolate the different enzyme systems involved. In this paper the separation of the enzyme activated by DPN which converts testosterone to androstenedione is descr...

the present study examined the utilisation of seaweed extract as a source of natural antioxidantsfor retarding lipid oxidation in minced kilka. the kilka mince with two different concentrations(300 ppm and 600 ppm) of water extract obtained by microwave, one control sample with noadded extracts and one control sample with added vitamin c were prepared. the samples werestored at refrigerator (4º...

Background—Autologous skeletal myoblast (SM) transplantation improves function of infarcted myocardium, but pretransplantation cultures remain a complex process. This study assessed whether it could be optimized by muscle preconditioning with the local anesthetic bupivacaine or even bypassed with the use of the so-called mince technique. Methods and Results—Muscle preconditioning consisted of i...

The objective of this study was to chemically characterize both channel and hybrid catfish parts including heads, frames, viscera, skin, and fillet trimming mince. Triplicate samples of channel and hybrid catfish byproduct parts were obtained from a large commercial catfish processor and analyzed for percent moisture, lipid, protein, ash, and amino acid and fatty acid profiles were determined. ...
