Article Abstract

A boiled fish simulation system was constructed to explore the deodorization effect of main aroma compounds (MAC) on myofibrillar protein (MP) with main fishy compounds (MFC) during heating. The results showed that the MFC content of boiled fish was reduced by 63.10-78.10 % when boiled by heat-stable emulsions loading MAC. Specifically, adding linalool, anethole, and myrcene significantly elevated the free percentage of hexanal, heptanal, and 1-octen-3-ol after heating, while the free percentage of octanal and nonanal markedly increased by adding anethole and limonene. Molecular docking exhibited that MAC and MFC possessed co-binding sites with myosin. Linalool and anethole were competitively bound to MP through hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding sites, while myrcene and limonene were via hydrophobic interaction sites. Moreover, MAC-MP formed a relatively stable structure, exhibiting increased α-helix content and decreased surface hydrophobicity, which reduced the available sites for MFC binding, ultimately desorbed MFC (65.46 %-95.89 %).

This study evaluated the effects of various cooking methods on the oxidative stability of fish balls, used as a model for oxidizable food, enriched with antioxidant sources: cacao powder (CP), exhibiting higher activity in polar solvents, and ginger powder (GP), showing higher activity in non-polar solvents. CP or GP was incorporated at equivalent antioxidant levels, and the fish balls were prepared using boiling, steaming, air-frying, deep-frying, oven-roasting, or microwave cooking. Cooking reduced antioxidant activity to 20% and raised lipid oxidation products (LOP) up to 3.

This study investigated the key volatile substances using SPME-GC-MS and metabolites using LC-MS, as tilapia fillets before and after steaming and boiling during refrigeration. Results indicated untreated, steamed, and boiled tilapia fillets post-refrigeration exhibited 15, 22, and 23 key volatile substances, respectively, primarily aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones. 97, 70, and 67 differential metabolites were identified by PLS-DA, respectively.

Background: Fishbone is a widespread foreign body accidentally swallowed, accounting for about 84% of ingested foreign bodies. Most of the patients do not present with any symptoms. The common sites where foreign bodies get embedded in the upper gastrointestinal tract involve the base of the tongue, the palatine tonsils, the pyriform sinus, and the vallecula.

Fish are a valuable source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients, making them an integral component of a healthy diet. However, protein digestibility, influenced by preparation methods, is a critical factor in assessing nutritional quality. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various thermal processing methods on the protein digestibility of two commonly consumed small pelagic fish species: sardines ( and sprats ().

The knowledge regarding the proximate composition of fish is essential for the effective implementation of preservation and processing practices. This study examined the proximate composition of four commercially important marine fish species of the Bay of Bengal: s (Malabar trevally), (Talang queenfish), (Rainbow sardine), and (Fringescale sardine) Fresh fishes were collected from the fishing boats of the Teknaf region, and immediately transported to a laboratory under iced (4 °C) condition. Proximate compositions of different body sections, types of muscle, and raw and cooked samples were analyzed.
