This paper analyses what are the potential outlets on European markets for new farmed fish. In the first part, the main striking features about the structure and evolution of the European fish trade over the last decade are presented. The analysis of fish imports and exports provides comprehensive data to...
Both liquid and solid wastes from Pacific whiting surimi manufacturing were
characterized and value-added products were recovered. A proteinase in surimi wash
water (SWW) was determined to be cathepsin L with Mr 54,200 on SDS-substrate gel.
Heat treatment and acidification shifted the activity zone to M [subscript r] 39,500. No...
Freezing is one of the important technologies for preservation of foods.
In this project, using surimi as a food model, thermophysical properties of frozen
foods were evaluated and the freezing process was simulated using a finite
element package.
To measure temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, a line-source
probe system was used. Effects...
Limited resource catfish producers are seeking ways to enhance economic and financial profitability of their aquaculture enterprises. One of the recommended methods to increase profitability is to sell value added smoked catfish at niche markets. Development of value-added smoked catfish is a potential cottage industry for limited resource catfish farmers...
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972
prohibits the discharge of seafood processing solid wastes into
navigable waters after July 1, 1977. Oregon shrimp and crab processors
must use other methods of disposal for the 15 to 30 million
pounds of solid waste generated annually. The application of...
The abundance and low fat content of Pacific whiting
support Its use for the production of surimi. The
degradation of muscle proteins by myxosporidian secreted
proteinase(s) has been associated with its soft texture.
High residual activity is retained through the washing
process used in the production of surimi and precludes...
Gamma irradiation survival curves of Salmonella enteriditis,
Salmonella paratyphi A, Salmonella cholerasuis, Salmonella
pullorum and Streptococcus pyogenes were determined in crabmeat
and in Hartsell's broth. The survival pattern of Staphylococcus
aureus in crabmeat was also determined.
A "tailing off" was found in the survival patterns of
Salmonella paratyphi A, Salmonella...
