This study was aimed at studying the effect of preliminary treatment variations on the pangas catfish (Pangasius pangasius) skin gelatin, particularly the gel strength. The preliminary treatment using the whiting solution gave higher gelatin property (P<0.05) than that using alum (Al3(SO4)2) and Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). High gelatin (dry basis) was 23.37% and gel strength was 360.18 g. The ...

Gelatins from the skin of four different species of fresh water fish, namely pangas catfish (Pangasius pangasius), Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus), striped snakehead (Channa Striata), and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) have been successfully extracted by citric acid. The gelatin from pangas catfish was found to possessed the highest rheology properties compared to the others. I...

A research study was conducted to investigate the culture possibility of fresh water catfish Pangasius pangasius with formulated feed in natural ponds. The stocking density was chosen as 8000 fry/ha with an initial weight of 42.57+ 2.51 g. The formulated feed contained 45% fishmeal, 30% mustard oil cake, 15% wheat bran and 10% rice bran to supply 40.48% protein in feed. The growth of Pangasius ...

Seafood is an important food source for many. Consumers should be entitled to an informed choice, and there is growing concern about correct composition labeling of seafood. Due to its high price, it has been shown to be vulnerable to adulteration. In the present study, we focus on moisture levels in seafood. Moisture and crude protein contents of chilled and frozen cod, pangasius, salmon, shri...

Pangasius catfish, Pangasianodoan hypophthalmus farming has been evolved to a shape of commercial enterprise over the last two decades in north-central part of Bangladesh, particularly in Mymensingh area but there is a lack of quantitative and qualitative data on the impacts of it on land use pattern. This study was conducted using multiple methodological tools including participatory rural app...

This study investigated the perceptions on and adaptations to climate change impacts of 235 pangasius farmers in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Data were collected using semi-structured household surveys in six provinces, from three regions along the Mekong river branches. A Chi-Square test was used to determine the association between variables, and a logit regression model was employed to identif...

Background: Vietnamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is highly appreciated in many European countries, the U.S., Canada, Japan etc. This paper presents an overview of the microbiota of frozen Vietnamese catfish products marketed in Belgium. Samples of Pangasius steaks, portions and fillets from six brands were collected from supermarkets located in Ghent, Belgium. Results: The total psychro...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzo-p-furans (PCDD/Fs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane diastereomers (HBCDs), and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were analyzed in popular farmed fish such as salmon, trout, tilapia, and pangasius and in farmed shrimp. The samples originated from southeas...
