The fatty acid composition of farmed Tra catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) was determined and compared to farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar) and to wild-caught Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer). Saturated fatty acids (SFA) were most abundant in catfish (42.6%) while salmon (37.2%) and seabass (39.0%) were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Tra catfish contains Docosahexaenoic acid (DH...

fish finger is a semi-prepared product of fish that many studies have been done to improve its texture, taste, flavor and color. the present study aims at investigating the quality and sensory characteristics of fish fingers produced from fillet and surimi of common carp during storage in refrigerator. fish fingers were packed and then stored in refrigerator (4 °c). chemical parameters (fat con...

the premature breakage in some four cylinder diesel engine crankshafts was reported. all crankshafts were failed from the same region. failures had occurred in the first crankpin, the nearest crankpin to the flywheel. dynamic analysis and finite element modelling were carried out to determine the state of stress in the crankshaft. fem results revealed that the first crankpin fillet is the most ...

Methods We report four patients operated in the last three years, for lesions of the ear, invading the post auricular skin and infiltrating into the scalp. On examination these ulcerating lesions had the clinical appearance of deeply infiltrating basal cell carcinoma. Surgery was performed under general anaesthesia. After resection was performed with 1 cm skin margins, down and including the te...

one of the most important problems of fish is the short shelf lifebecause of the high unsaturated fatty acids. so, with the help of antioxidant compounds can be increased shelf life of fish. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin e as a natural antioxidant to increase shelf life of rainbow trout fillet during storage at refrigerator temperature (4±1 0c). treatments were ...

The paper presentsan ultrasonic guided wave methodology for inspection of a fillet joint with a bend.Owing to the complex shape of the geometry, it is not amenable for conventional techniques. The methodology developed utilizes through-transmission ultrasonic testing. Two 90Δ angle beam (surface wave) ultrasonic transducers of central frequency 2.25 MHz, acting as a transmitter and a receiver a...

Transfer of a rifampicin-resistant mutant of Listeria monocytogenes from an inoculated slicing blade to slices of 'gravad' salmon (Salmo salar), and from inoculated salmon fillet to the slicing machine and subsequently to slices of uninoculated fillet was studied. The effect of slicing temperature (0 degrees C, 10 degrees C and room temperature), inoculum level (approx. 3, 5 and 8 log CFU/blade...
