The effects of ambient temperature storage on the chemical
and nutritional characteristics of phosphoric and sorbic acid-stabilized
fish autolysates were determined. Variations in sample
composition due to autolysis, deboning, and acidification were also
evaluated.
Autolysates of English sole (Parophrys vetulus), true cod
(Gadus macrocephalus), Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus), and
orange...
Pacific shrimp (Pandalus jordani) was washed repeatedly and the
eluted bacteria were enumerated and identified. Selected isolates
were tested for their adhesive properties.
Washing reduced the microbial load by 3.84 to 42.04%. The bacteria
which most resisted wash-off were Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas
spp. The easiest to wash off was Flavobacterium...
A novel method for isolating fish proteins by shifting pH to high acid or high alkali pH was the focus of the study. Biochemical and physicochemical properties of various pH-treated soluble fish proteins as a function of ionic strength were determined. Effect of ionic strength and various storage conditions on...
Biochemical properties, functional properties, and market potential of Pacific whiting (PW) fish sauce were investigated. Biochemical properties of fish sauce made from whole fish (W) and a mixture (1:1) of whole fish and surimi byproducts (WB) were compared. Market potential was evaluated through phone interviews and consumer panelists. Proteolysis was...

Proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins in Pacific whiting surimi occurs when the 50-
70°C temperature range is reached during standard cooking procedures (e.g. 90°C for 15
min). This proteolytic activity results in the softening of surimi gels. Bovine plasma
protein (BPP) is the most effective of the food-grade inhibitors used to...
Consumption of seafood products continues to grow each year, but post-harvest losses and inedible seafood waste remain as high as 25%. Ice-based systems are the most common form of preservation to increase shelf life, preserve product quality, and enhance product safety. Slurry ice is a type of chilling media, consisting...
Wine grape pomace (WGP), the byproduct from winemaking, is a good source of polyphenols and dietary fibers, and may be utilized as antioxidant dietary fibers (ADF) for food applications. The objectives of this thesis research were to first determine the phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in red WGP under...
The effect of salt (0, 0.9, 1.7, 2.5%) and pH (range 4
to 10) on surimi gels made from Pacific Whiting (Merluccius
productus) was investigated. Gel-forming ability was measured
by the torsion test. In general, surimi gels
increased in gel strength with increased pH. Breaking shear
stress increased to a...
The effect of washing machine separated rockfish flesh on
composition, quality and desirability was investigated.
Washing machine separated rockfish flesh resulted in a
36.88% loss of solids. The greatest reductions were found in the ash
(80.32%) and lipid (65.13%) levels in the washed flesh. Most of the
sarcoplasmic proteins were...
