Aim of the study was to aid the utilization of pangas protein isolates (PPI) and pangas processing by‐products (PPB) in food products (rohu mince sausage) and to evaluate the quality of the developed products. Rohu mince in sausages was replaced with PPI and PPB at 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10% levels and the composition, physical, textural and sensorial qua...

Seed extract from grapes (GSE) and papaya (PSE) were evaluated for their antioxidative and antimicrobial properties to improve the frozen storage quality of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta). GSE contained six times higher flavonoid content and four times higher phenolic content than PSE. Similarly, higher and dose-dependent antioxidant acti...

Background Fish processing waste could be valorized by recuperating the nutrients for human consumption. Employing a suitable process would address the pollution problems associated with its dumping and -food security. In this study, protein isolates obtained from rohu (Labeo rohita) processing waste through the pH shift process (pH 13.0) were valo...

The information on the reproductive biology of Schizothorax niger (snowtrout) will help to know the inception and period of maturity stages, age at first maturity, sex ratio, spawning, and fecundity of this fish. These parameters are fundamental and will help in research, stock assessment, and management of this fish species. Size at first maturity...

Reproduction process is important for fish population productivity and in its resilience to fishing and environmental changes. Reproductive potential is the ability to generate feasible amount of quality eggs in relation to the energy available and parental life expectancy. The important parameters for estimating the reproductive potential of the f...

In this chapter, an attempt has been made to review derivation of peptides by enzymatic hydrolysis and their bioactivities

The present study investigates antioxidant properties and storage stability of grape seed extract (GSE) and papaya seed extract (PSE). The effect of heat showed significant decrease whereas wide range of pH showed increase in its antioxidant activity. The storage days study indicated that, there was slight change in antioxidant activity (AOA) of GS...

Spoilage prevention and shelf-life extension of products will always remain an important goal to the meat industry. While the greatest emphasis is placed on the prevention of microbial spoilage, chemical deterioration, specifically oxidative spoilage, is an important consideration for fresh meats and manufactured meat products as well. In the meat...

Antioxidant activities of potato peel (PPE) and ginger extracts (GE) were measured in terms of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), scavenging activity of DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrozyl) and ABTS (2,2-azinobis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), ferric reducing power (FRP) and metal chelating activity (MCA) on in v...

Reproductive biology of little tuna in the Arabian Sea was conducted from January 2010-December 2010 which collected the data with the help of drift gill nets that unloaded their catch at Veraval landing centre, Gujarat. Spawning season of female and male of E. affinis occurred round the year with peak during December – March. The size at first mat...

Antioxidant properties of grape (GSE) and papaya seed extracts (PSE) were tested in vitro at varied concentrations and growth inhibition were seen against gram positive and gram negative bacteria by disc diffusion method. The results revealed that GSE contain four times higher phenolic and six folds higher flavonoid content than PSE. The antioxidan...

In the present study, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Grape seed extract (GSE) and Papaya seed extract (PSE) were investigated by using different in-vitro models viz., DPPH radical activity, ABTS scavenging activity, metal chelation, ferric reducing power, linoleic acid model and antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. The GSE...

Seeds from horticultural waste are rich in phenolic compounds that have wide range of biological functions including antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In the present investigation our aim was to evaluate antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of ethanolic extract of grape and papaya seeds by cold extraction. Total phenolic content (TPC),...

Coastal tunas represent an important group of larger pelagics along the Saurashtra coast possessing great domestic and export demand. Euthynnus affinis is one of the important coastal species among tunas. Average annual catch of E. affinis during 2008 – 2010 was 1174.91t which contributed 9.9% of total gill net catches at Veraval. Length – weight r...

Antioxidants are helpful in the defense mechanism of body against different pathogens. The use of plant derived antioxidants is helpful against many degenerative diseases like Parkinson, Alzheimer and Cancer. This review gives an overlook to the different methods used to determine antioxidant capacity of different antioxidants. The explanation of a...

The ability of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) in changing physical, chemical, microbial and sensory properties of fish patties prepared from sutchi catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) was investigated. Two batches of fresh patties were prepared, one batch was treated with 15 % button mushroom (TP) and other batch was a control (CP) without mushr...

The effect of washing and anti-oxidant (Tannic acid) treatment on the quality of minced meat of Megalaspis cordyla (Horse mackerel) during frozen storage was observed. Minced meat of Megalaspis cordyla was divided in to three lots T0, T1, T2. T1 was washed with cold water, T2 with cold water containing tannic acid (100 mg/Kg) and T0 was without was...

Fatty fish have been recognized as potential raw material for production of minced meat; however, they are prone to oxidation and further deterioration. In the present study, the effect of washing and antioxidant (tannic acid) treatment on the quality of minced meat of Trachurus trachurus (horse mackerel) during frozen storage was observed. Minced...

Antioxidant activities by hot extraction method of grape (GSE) and papaya seed extracts (PSE) were measured in terms of phenolic content, flavonoid content, antiradical activity, metal chelating activity and linoleic acid model system. The results revealed that GSE contain twenty eight times higher phenolic and seven folds higher total flavonoid co...
