The study investigated the effect of 10% aqueous extracts of ginger ( Zingiber officinale L.), garlic ( Allium sativum L.) and onion ( Allium cepa L.) on the quality of frozen chevon and pork as reflected by changes in values of 2-thiobartituric Acid Reactive Substances (2-TBARS), pH and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) over a 14 day storage under frozen conditions.  Fresh samples each weighing 2 kg from chevon and pork were bought from the local slaughter houses in two locations 24hrs after slaughtering while ginger roots, garlic and onion bulbs were purchased from Mitundu local market in Lilongwe district, Malawi.  The pH, total 2-TBARS and TVB-N of the thigh chevon and pork were measured from frozen storage at -20 o C after 14 days. The 10% aqueous extracts resulted in low pH values of 5.63, 5.79 and 5.67 at 14 d for chevon mixed with ginger, garlic and onion respectively. However, treated pork had higher pH content compared to treated chevon at 14 d. At day14 of frozen storage, the 2-TBARS expressed as mg MDA/kg meat, for chevon mixed with ginger, garlic and onion aqueous extracts were 2.62±0.01, 0 and 4.71±0.03 which was lower compared to the value of 5.93±0.01 for raw chevon. The TBARS values of chevon and pork mixed with ginger, garlic and onion and control chevon decreased from day 0 to 7 which eventually increased on 14 d. On 14 d, pork mixed with garlic extracts had lower TBARS value of 2.13±0.01 compared to 3.50±0.20, 2.26±0.01 and 3.92±0.01 for pork mixed with extracts of onion, ginger and control pork sample respectively. TVB-N, in mg/100g, was highest in control raw chevon and pork registering 95.70±0.32 and 84.00±0.40 at 14 d. Low values of TVB-N of 7.24±0.23, 12.37±0.23 and 16.61v±0.50 were registered in chevon mixed with aqueous extracts of ginger, garlic and onion compared to the values of 14.23±0.62, 22.87±0.47 and 18.86±0.14 for pork mixed with aqueous extracts of ginger, garlic and onion. The results of the study have revealed that natural aqueous antioxidant extracts of ginger, garlic and onion have antioxidative effect on lipid peroxidation in frozen stored fresh chevon and pork signifying that the use of these extracts can maintain quality.

Changes in physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory qualities of cooked crayfish (Procambarus clarkia) meat, treated at different freezing rate (-30°C,CPF; -60°C,ULTF; -196°C,LNM), were investigated during storage at -20°C for up to 6 months. pH value increased in all treatments with the sharp reduction after 3 months. Increase in weight loss of LNM was slower than that of CPF and ULTF cooked crayfish. During frozen storage, thiobarbituric acid value (TBA value) fluctuated in all treatments, but lipid oxidation did not affect the quality of crayfish meat because of its lower fat contents. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) increased with storage time, with the reduction of TVC and sensory score. Freezing rates could not cause significant changes in chemical qualities (pH value, total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid value), sensory quality and microbiological quality for all three treatments during storage. In spite of decrease of quality of cooked crayfish meat in all treatments, good edibility was kept throughout the storage.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of raw material freshness on the quality of marinated fish. The raw material anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) was divided into two batches. One batch (A) was kept at ambient temperature (20°C) for 6 h and the other one was kept at 0°C for 72 h. Then, they were marinated by soaking into marination solution containing 3% acetic acid and 8% NaCl. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine (TMA), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), para-anisidine (p-Av) values in both marinated samples increased significantly during storage at 4°C. Increases in quality parameters were higher in samples produced with raw anchovy kept at 20°C compared to samples kept at 0°C. Although the sensory scores of both samples decreased during storage, higher scores were obtained for samples kept at 0°C compared to samples kept at ambient temperature. According to the results of the study, it has been determined that the quality of the raw material significantly (p<0.01) affects the quality of marinated anchovy.Keywords: fish; quality; anchovy; marinade; raw material

The effects of starch (corn and quinoa) and quinoa seeds on chicken meatballs’ physicochemical, textural, and sensory properties were investigated during frozen storage. The chicken meatballs were prepared with corn starch (CS), quinoa starch (QS), quinoa seeds (Q), and combinations of corn starch and quinoa seeds (CS-Q), and quinoa starch and quinoa seeds (QS-Q), which were subjected to five freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles of temperature fluctuation conditions during frozen storage. Regardless of the type used (CS or QS), adding starch resulted in fewer cooking, drip, and reheating losses in chicken meatballs during frozen storage. The values of the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of chicken meatballs with CS or QS were half those of chicken meatballs without starch, indicating that the addition of starch inhibited the change in the meatballs’ texture. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values were progressive but did not dynamically increase during five F-T cycles. Chicken meatballs containing CS-Q or QS-Q showed significantly lower TBARS values than those with CS, QS, or Q after five F-T cycles. Adding quinoa seeds significantly increased the antioxidant activity and the chewiness of meatballs (p < 0.05) compared with starch only. The addition of the combination of QS-Q to chicken meatballs increased the values of taste, texture, and overall acceptability, indicating that quinoa starch and seeds may be introduced as premium ingredients to frozen meat products.

Whole ungutted pota and octopus were stored in bulk in stainless steel refrigerated containers under controlled atmospheres. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment, physicochemical tests (pH, trimethylamine nitrogen, total volatile basic nitrogen, 2-thiobarbituric acid) and sensory assessments (inspection) were done. For both pota and octopus, the control lot had the highest physicochemical values and the lowest sensory values, and of the two assayed atmospheres, the 60/15/25% atmosphere (CO2/O2/N2) had the best physicochemical results. pH, trimethylamine nitrogen, and total volatile basic nitrogen levels were lower (P ≤ 0.05) in octopus than in pota, and the inspection results were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher. However, the octopus had a higher 2-thiobarbituric acid index than the pota. Therefore, the application of controlled atmospheres on these cephalopods during chilled bulk storage considerably increases their shelf life.

Shellfish including shrimp and clams are consumed allover the world for their nutritional value, however, handling in seafood markets may challenge their safety and quality. Shellfish products in the fish markets in Suez Governorate were evaluated throughchemical analysis of total volatile basic nitrogen value, thiobarbituric acid, histamine content, and some heavy metals residues. As well as, microbiological estimation of the total aerobic counts, Enterobacteriaceae counts, Escherichia coli counts, and Staphylococcus aureus counts, in addition of Salmonella detection. Results declared that more than half of the examined samples of shrimp and clams (gandofly) were fit for human consumption based on the permissible limits of the Egyptian standard. Otherwise, some gandofly samples contain high levels of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBA), and may cause scombroid food poisoning with elevated histamine level. The levels of cadmium, lead, and zinc in shellfish samples under study was different with the sequence: Zn>Pb>Cd. Bacteria including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus were identified. The analysed samples in this study were judged as medium/good quality market samples as more than half of the examined samples were within the Egyptian standard and may indicate that trading of shellfish at Suez markets went under abuse storage temperature.

ABSTRACT In this study, bonito fish (Sarda sarda Bloch, 1793) were irradiated at 3 or 5 kGy, packaged, frozen, and stored at −20 ± 2°C for 12 months. During storage, the microbiological, physical, and chemical changes of the fish flesh were then assessed. Increasing the irradiation dose to 5 kGy provided greater inhibition of mesophilic and psychotropic aerobic bacteria (P &lt; 0.05). Because fewer bacteria were detected in irradiated (3 and 5 kGy) as compared with unirradiated control fish suggests that freezing and irradiation yielded better results when combined. Irradiation at 3 and 5 kGy also positively impacted water activity, total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid–reactive substances, trimethylamine, and odor compared with the control group. However, a significant difference was not seen between the 3- and 5-kGy groups in terms of water activity, total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid–reactive substances, trimethylamine, and odor results (P &gt; 0.05). Based on these findings, fish irradiated at 3 and 5 kGy remained within consumable limits during 12 months of frozen storage, while the control group was unacceptable after 9 months.

The aim of the study was to monitor changes in selected physical (awwater activity, pH values) and chemical (TVBN total volatile basic nitrogen, TMA-N trimethylamine nitrogen, FFA free fatty acids, PV peroxide values, TBA thiobarbituric acid value) properties in the shelf life of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) muscle. A total of 192 trout were examined. Control samples (96 samples) were simply packaged in contact with atmospheric oxygen, while experimental samples (96 samples) were packaged in a commercial vacuum (98%). All the samples were stored at 2 ± 2° C for 11 days. Analyses were performed on storage days 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, and 11. During the experiment, aw values increased in both types of packaging (in air: 0.982; vacuum-packaged: 0.989). At the end of storage, TVBN and TMA concentrations were at 28.88 ± 4.42 and 19.28 ± 3.00 g mg·100-1, respectively, in the muscle of vacuum-packaged trout; and at 30.52 ± 2.91 and 19.94 ± 2.05 mg·100 g-1, respectively, in fish in simple packaging. The FFA content in vacuum-packaged fish initially declined before increasing to 3.67 ± 2.37% of total fat as oleic acid later in the experiment. The pattern of PV changes was inconclusive, and significant changes (P < 0.01) were observed in both types of packaging. On monitoring day 11, TBA values had ​​increased to 7.34 ± 3.10 mg·kg-1 in vacuum-packaged fish and to 26.03 ± 8.00 mg·kg-1 in fish in simple packaging. Free fatty acids are not a good indicator of spoilage because they are converted to hydroperoxides. Vacuum packaging effectively slowed down oxidative changes in rainbow trout muscle. The peroxide content is not a suitable indicator of shelf life as peroxides are decomposed to secondary products. Total volatile basic nitrogen and thiobarbituric acid value can be recommended as suitable indicators of freshness and shelf life.

This study investigated the total viable counts, sensory and physicochemical qualities (total volatile basic nitrogen, K-value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value, water holding capacity and texture parameters), as well as water distribution of fresh hairtail fish during simulated cold chain. The results showed that total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and K-values increased with the increasing time, while sensory scores, water holding capacity, hardness and elasticity decreased. The transverse relaxation time T2 data detected by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance also showed that T22 (trapped water) gradually decreased with the increasing time, while T23 (free water) increased. It was observed that the quality deterioration of the fish fillets developed more quickly when the samples suffered frequent temperature fluctuations than they stored at higher but stable temperatures. The changes of T22 and T23 of both the samples stored at stable and fluctuated temperatures showed good correlations with sensory, total volatile basic nitrogen and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values (R2 > 0.9, p < 0.05). Therefore, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technology can be a potential tool to monitor the quality changes of hairtail fish during cold chain logistics.
