Catfish Oil (Pangasius hypophthalmus) effect to ferritin and sTfR in iron deficiency anemia

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is a micronutrient problem and the prevalence is still high. Catfish oil (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is a natural source of heme iron which can improve body iron levels.Objectives: This study was aimed to examine and analyze the effect of catfish oil on ferritin and sTfR levels in male wistar rats with iron deficiency anemia models.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on male wistar rats which were divided into groups C- (standard feed), C+ (standard feed but had the iron removed), X1 (standard feed without iron but was supplemented with catfish oil), X2 (standard feed without iron but was supplemented with ferrous sulfate) for 14 days. Ferritin and sTfR levels were measured before and after intervention using ELISA.Results: The study showed an increase ferritin levels in X1 (21.87 ng/ml ±0.76), X2 (24.47 ng/ml ±0.54) and there was no significant difference between the two (p=0.069; p>0.05); a decrease in C- (0.25 ng/ml ±0.43), C+ (0.32 ng/ml ±0.059) (p=0.00; p<0.05). The sTfR levels decreased before and after intervention (p=0.00; p<0.05) in C+ (0.24 μ/mL ±0.99), X1 (60.66 μ/mL ±0.29), X2 (62.10 μ/mL ±0.90) and increased in C- (0.40 μ/mL ±0.97).Conclusions: The study indicates ferritin levels increased in the rats receiving catfish oil is not different from the rats that received ferrous sulfate and sTfR levels decreased significantly in wistar rats with iron deficiency anemia receiving catfish oil although the results were not as good as ferrous sulfate supplementation

Characteristic of margarine with ingredient mixed of catfish (Pangasius sp.) oil and vegetable oil

The use of fish oil is still not optimal whether it is crude or refined fish oil. One of the alternative uses is processing it into food ingredients or as an ingredient for food product enrichment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combination of catfish oil and vegetable oil on the characteristics of margarine. Refined catfish oil was analyzed for peroxide content, free fatty acids, iodine number, and saponification number. Margarine products are made with the main ingredient of stearin and a mixture of refined catfish oil and corn oil with a ratio of 100: 0; 75:25 and 50:50. The analysis carried out included proximate, peroxide value, color, sensory and microbiology. The results showed that refined catfish oil had a peroxide value of 1.74%, free fatty acids 0.21%, Iodine value 50.48% and saponification value 102.10%. Based on the quality characteristics of margarine, the treatment with a ratio of 50:50 has the best result with a moisture content of 9.03%, 78% fat content, 1.75% peroxide value and have a bright yellow color, conform the margarine standard SNI 01-3541-2002. The results of the analysis of total plate count (ALT) ranged from 1.0x101 to 4.0x101, Stapphylococcus aureus showed that the colony did not grow up to 4.0 X 101. The hedonic test results for the color, taste and aroma of the margarine, panelists preferred the fish oil concentration 50:50 while the panelists preferred margarine with the addition of fish oil 75:25 for the texture.

Functional groups of bio-lubricants from crude catfish oil (Pangasius hypothalamus)

Bio-lubricants have great potential in the production of lubricating in the future. Several studies have developed animal oils as lubricants, which come from a by-product of fish processing. Fish oil extracted from the material and processed into bio-lubricants reached the highest yield of 94%. This research aimed to study the bio-lubricants functional groups. The research steps extracted crude fish oil as raw material, hydrolysis using HCl catalyst, polymerization using benzoyl peroxide, and polyesterification using ethylene glycol. The extraction process used the wet rendering method with a ratio of catfish waste (viscera) to the water of 1:2 (w/v) at 70 °C for 30 minutes. The best bio-lubricants were analyzed for functional groups using an FT-IR instrument with a wave range of 4000-450 cm−1. The results obtained were the absorption wavelength peak of 3472 cm−1, indicating O-H bonds with the sloping peak and the weak bond. The absorption wave peak of 3006-2852 cm−1 indicated a strong C-H bond (alkane). The absorption wave peaks of 1743 cm−1 indicated the presence of a C=O double bond. The adsorption wave peaks at 1465 cm−1 indicated carbon chain bonds between C-C, while the absorption wave peaks at 1115 and 1174 cm−1 indicated C-O bonds. The three spectral indicated that the ester groups formed in bio-lubricants. In the polymerization reaction, there was no absorption wave of 1600-1500 cm−1 which indicated that all C=C groups had been polymerized by benzoyl peroxide. Meanwhile, a sloping absorption wave of 3472 cm−1 was found in the polyesterification reaction due to the weak O-H bond. The analysis obtained above showed the differences in wave peak between bio-lubricant and crude fish oil as raw material but had the same group shape.

Kualitas Minyak Ikan Lele Dumbo (Clarias gariepinus) Selama Penyimpanan dengan Penambahan Likopen Kasar dari Buah Tomat

The quality of Dumbo Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) oil can be maintained during storage with the addition of crude lycopene in tomatoes as an antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best ratio between crude lycopene in tomatoes and Dumbo catfish oil during storage. The study was conducted using a variable ratio of crude lycopene: Dumbo catfish oil with 4 treatment levels (6:40, 8:40, 10:40, and 12:40 (w/v)) and storage time variables of 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. Lycopene levels in Dumbo catfish oil were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, while the quality of Dumbo catfish oil during storage was determined through peroxide value analysis. The results showed that the best ratio of crude lycopene of tomatoes: Dumbo catfish oil was 12:40 at the third week of storage with lycopene content of 0.257 grams and the peroxide value of Dumbo catfish oil was 3.45 meq/kg or had met IFOS standards. Keywords: Crude lycopene, tomato fruit, dumbo catfish oil, peroxide value.

Characteristics of catfish oil, red palm oil and shark liver oil as functional foods

Functional food is a food ingredient in addition to basic needs as nutrients that can also play a functional role in health. This research aimed to determine the physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of catfish oil, red palm oil, and shark liver oil as functional food ingredients. The research method was to extract fish oil from belly flap, purify catfish oil, and process red palm oil (RPO) from crude palm oil (CPO). The analysis parameters consisted of sensory analysis, oil chemical characteristics (free fatty acid analysis, peroxide, iodine, saponification, and acid numbers), total carotene, tocopherol, and analysis of fatty acid composition. The results showed that the catfish oil after being purified had sensory characteristics, smelled slightly fishy and semi-solid, and had a bright yellow color. The results of the analysis of chemical characteristics showed that the free fatty acid numbers of catfish oil and shark liver oil were following IFOS standards (1.33 and 0.62%), and the RPO numbers for peroxide and free fatty acids according to the SNI standards (9.56 meq kg and 1.44%). The highest ω-3 and ω- 6 fatty acids were in shark liver oil (3.56 and 35.35%), followed by catfish oil (1.72 and 19.9%). and RPO does not contain ω-3 and ω-6. Catfish oil, RPO, and shark liver oil act as functional foods. The fatty acid composition of catfish, shark liver and red palm oil contains saturated and the fatty acid composition of catfish, shark liver and red palm oil contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Mono and poly unsaturated fatty acid (FUFA anf MUFA) in crude catfish oil, pure catfish oil, shark liver oil, and red palm oils were 56.71, 58.12, 63.81 and 47.39% respectively. The result of analysis showed composition of in catfish oil 1.72 and 19.9 %. The content of and of shark liver oil was 3.5 and 35.5%. Whereas in red palm oil does not Ω 3 and Ω 6. The content of EPA and DHA in shark liver oil was 0.08, 0.09 but not in catfish and red palm oil. The total content of carotene and tocopherol in red palm oil was 513.86 and 925.80 mg/kg, respectively. The nutritional composition of catfish oil, red palm oil, and shark liver oil has the potential to be used as functional food. Keywords:Characteristic physicochemicalCaroteneTocopherolω-3ω-6
