Different Levels

Microalgae breeding media must be cost-effective, enable high growth, meet exact re- quirements and be readily available. The effect of different levels of urea [25, 50, 75, and 100%] in the growth medium on the biochemical constituents (protein, carbohydrates, lipids, fatty acids, and amino acids) of the Nannochloropsis oculata, was assessed compared to the F/2 Guillard standard medium. The obtained results revealed that the chemical constituents of N. oculata were influenced by the different levels of urea. The highest total protein was obtained by A4 medium (100% urea) (26.44%) and A3 medium (75% urea) (25.84%). The maximum percentage of essential amino acids (EAA) (51.54%) was obtained by using the A4 medium (100% urea) as compared to the control (100% F/2). The highest total lipid content was achieved by using the A1 medium (25% urea) pro- ducing (17.33 %) and A4 medium (100% urea) (16.98%). Accordingly, the highest total saturated fatty acids percentage (TSFA) of N. oculata was recorded by the A3 medium. In conclusion, the addition of urea is an excellent policy to increase chemical composition and lipid accumulation. The present study recommended taming results for aquaculture feeding through using the proposed A1 medium as a lipid promoter or A4 medium as a protein promoter.

n the current paper, we aimed to analyze the way in which packing (different polyethylene types) influence the quality of pasteurized melange during storage, packing being realized in units of 1 kg (Tetra Pak) (batch Lexp-1) and units of 5 kg (Bag in box) (batch Lexp-2). Products were stored during a period of 28 days at a temperature of +4�C, qualitative determinations being realized in first day (day 0), at 7 days, at 14 days, 21 days and in day 28 of storage. Were effectuated a sensorial examination and chemical analysis were was established the content in dry matter (%), water (%), proteins (%), content in essential amino acids (isoleucine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine) and non-essential amino acids (alanine, histidine, glycine, serine) (mg/100g) as well as the content in lipids (%) establishing their profile by identification of some saturated fatty acids (16:0 mg/100g and 18:0 mg/100g) and unsaturated fatty acids (16:1 mg/100g and 18:1 mg/100g). After sensorial examinations, the first modifications were observed at the checking effectuated in day 21 for batch Lexp-2, the obtained score being of 18 points, and at checking effectuated in day 28 was given a score of 18 points for melange belonging to batch Lexp-1 and only 14 points for melange from batch Lexp-2. Differences were recorded also in case of chemical composition of products, so for protein content at batch Lexp-1 in first checking day was obtained a mean of 12.730�0.24% and at batch Lexp-2 12.614�0.22%. Differences between those two batches were insignificant (p[0.05). In case of fat content, at the end of storage period was obtained a mean of 11.256�0.06% for batch Lexp-1 and 11.244�0.11% for batch Lexp-2, differences being insignificant (p [ 0.05). Regarding the profile of amino acids and fatty acids, the mean values obtained during whole storage period oscillated from one stage to another, but the differences between those two batches were insignificant (p [ 0.05). Pasteurized egg melange suffers certain sensorial modifications during storage, especially on consistency and colouring, modifications which are accentuated mainly by storage conditions. Type of polyethylene utilized for this product hadn�t influenced the nutritive qualities of product.

Armoured crickets are an important food source in some parts of Zimbabwe. These insects are abundant in some regions but however, they are under utilised and not much is known about their nutritional value. The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional profile of the armoured cricket (Acanthoplus discoidalis). Armoured crickets were collected from a structured sampling framework in Mbire district Mashonaland Central province of Zimbabwe. Removal of the head and thorax, degutting and boiling were done. A proximate analysis was carried out followed by mineral, amino acid and fatty acid profiling of the prepared insects. Analyses were done on a dry basis. A. discoidalis contained 69.2% protein, 16.8% fat, 8.6% ash, 1.2% carbohydrate, 4.2% chitin and 454.3 Kcal/100 g energy. A 100 g dry weight quantity of insect contains 11.48 mg iron which is enough to meet the required daily intake of 10.0-20 mg/day for an adult. The zinc (4.37 mg/100 g dry weight) and phosphorus (491.4 mg/100 g dry weight) content in A. discoidalis almost meets the reference nutrient intake for adults. Essential amino acids, leucine (60.7 mg/g protein) had the highest concentration followed by phenylalanine+tyrosine (59.3 mg/g protein), valine (48.4 mg/g protein), lysine (46.7 mg/g protein), threonine (37.4 mg/g protein), isoleucine (26.4 mg/g protein), methionine+cysteine (20.9 mg/g protein) and histidine (16.5 mg/g protein) the least concentration. In total, 9 saturated fatty acids were determined of which stearic acid and palmitic acid had the highest concentrations of 2,034.5 mg/100 g and 2,005.3 mg/100 g respectively. Four mono unsaturated fatty acids were determined of which oleic acid and palmitoleic acid had the highest concentrations of 361.4 mg/100 g and 305.2 mg/100 g respectively. Four poly-unsaturated fatty acids were determined of which eicosapentaenoic and α-linolenic acid had the highest concentrations of 1,598.0 mg/100 g and 185.6 mg/100 g respectively. A. discoidalis is good source of protein, the minerals iron, zinc and phosphorus, some essential amino acids and poly-unsaturated fatty acids.

The objective of this work was to study the nutritional and bioactive composition of commercially available flaxseeds with the aim to develop new alternatives for their use as functional and nutraceutical food ingredient. The samples of flaxseed contained 20.86% protein, 31.16% fat, 29.07% crude fiber and 3.75% ash. Essential amino acids represented 34% of total protein. The amino acids profile showed that glutamic acid was the most abundant (3.87 g 100 g-1), followed by arginine (1.93 g 100 g-1) and aspartic acid (1.52 g 100 g-1). Fatty acids analysis indicated that alpha-linolenic acid represents the major fatty acid (54.51% of the total fatty acids). The ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids was 8.67 while the n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio was 3.2. Total phenolics showed average contents of 295.92 mg GAE 100 g-1, of which flavonoids accounted for 25.85 mg QE 100 g-1. The results confirmed that, in addition to being one of the richest sources of alpha-linolenic acid, flaxseed is an essential source of high quality protein, soluble fiber and potent natural antioxidants.

Egg is a rich source of nutrients, such as high-quality protein (containing the ideal proportion of amino acids necessary for human body development) and a rich variety of vitamins and minerals. Liquid egg products have grown to a large extent in the food industry and beyond, which is an important reason to know their quality. For the analysis was used fresh pasteurized yolk and white wrapped bag in box. The fatty acids were determined by gas chromatographic method and amino acids by high performance liquid chromatography method. The results indicated that 34% of total fatty acids analyzed are saturated fatty acids, the main constituent being palmitic acid (25%) and 66% are unsaturated acids and the main constituent is oleic acid (37%). The rate of essential amino acids which are in pasteurized liquid white represents 46% from total analyzed amino acids and in the case of yolk the share is 44%. From obtained data for fatty acids content our limits are higher for polyunsaturated acids than those indicated by other researchers, and for monounsaturated acids are lower than data obtain by other authors. Regarding the essential amino acids content, the obtained data have higher values than the ones obtain by other authors. A possible explanation for the fluctuations in the profile of fatty acids and amino acids could be the feed distributed to the birds from which the eggs are obtained.

Abstract In this study, carotenoprotein from Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) processing waste was extracted with the aid of alcalase (CP-A) and pepsin (CP-P) at various levels (0-4 units/100g waste) for different times (0–240 min). Recovery of carotenoids and protein increased with increasing enzymes levels (3 unit/g) and hydrolysis times until 180 min (p<0.05). The extracted carotenoprotein by pepsin and alcalase consisted of 72.11-75.32% protein contents and carotenoids were in the range of 330-530 µg/g samples. The phenylalanine, lysine, methionine and valine as essential amino acids were high at CP-A and CP-P. The dominant non-essential amino acids in carotenoproteins were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and alanine. It was rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The CP-A showed higher DHA and EPA (8.52 and 6.49%) than CP-P (5.55 and 5.49%). The saturated fatty acids were reduced after enzymatic hydrolysis and contents were higher in carotenoproteins. The extracted samples showed a significant amount of mineral contents. Sodium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium contents were found to be higher in CP-A. The lead and copper reduced as a result of hydrolysis. Therefore, carotenoprotein from processing residue of pacific white shrimp could be used as the value-added nutritious enriching food or feed powder.

In the current paper were studied a number of 200 sturgeons from Polyodon spathula of 4th summer (P.s.3+) breed, reared in a fishery farm from North-East of Romania. Studying of modification of sensorial characteristics of meat, analysed just after fishing and during preservation by refrigeration during 15 days (+2 � +4oC), show an optimal keeping period by refrigeration of the studied fishes for 5-6 days. The pH level from the studied muscles oscillated between values 7.9 and 7.11, after slaughtering, and at 24 h after slaughtering between 6.88 and 6.89. The water content of fillet (lateral muscles) had values of 75.41%; protein content of fillet (lateral muscles) had values of 19.89%; lipid content of fillet (lateral muscles) was 3.45%; collagen content of fillet (lateral muscles) had values of 4.14%. The values of water-protein rate (w/p = 3.79) placed the analyzed paddlefishes in the second category; energetic value of fillet gathered from studied fishes was 114.31 kcal/100 g. The rate of amino-acids from the total sum was 26.23% for the essential amino acids, 4.61% for semi-essential amino acids and 69.16% for non-essential amino acids. As rate the quantity of saturated fatty acids recorded the value of 25.64% for epaxial muscles, respectively 25.83% for hypaxial muscles; rate of mono-unsaturated fatty acids was 54.77% for epaxial muscles and 54.50% for hypaxial muscles; poly-unsaturated fatty acids had a rate of 19.59% for epaxial muscles and 19.67% for hypaxial muscles. Through histological studies for establishing the rate of muscular and conjunctive tissues from meat of studied paddlefishes, was observed that in case of lateral muscles mean diameter had an intermediary value of 43.42 �. Those data leaded to obtain a mean area for transversal section of 1485.74 �2. Mean diameter of muscular fibre (43.42 �) characterize a meat with fine texture. Profile on transversal section of muscular fibres had an ellipsoidal shape; fact which was enlightened by the rate between great diameter and small diameter (GD/SD) which varied between 1.35/1 -1.61/1. The rate of the main tissue categories in composition of lateral muscles gathered from analysed paddlefishes revealed the fact that mean rate of muscular tissue was of 70.47%, while mean rate of conjunctive tissues was of only 29.52%.
