This study aims to determine the effect of different essential oils on the physical, chemical and microbiological properties, and the shelf life of the cold marinated anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus L. 1758) stored at 4 ± 2 °C. The anchovies were marinated for twenty-four hours at 4 ± 2 °C in brine, consisting of salt (10%), alcohol vinegar (4%) and citric acid (0.2%), and then stored for six months at 4 ± 2 °C in sunflower seed oil. The study consists of the following groups: only sunflower seed oil (group A), 0.1% rosemary oil (group B), 0.1% coriander oil (group C), 0.1% laurel oil (group D) and 0.1% garlic oil (group E). When the results of the TVB-N and microbiological analysis were considered, it were established that all the groups maintained their freshness during the six month period, and that group E containing garlic oil, had the minimum TVB-N ratio and the lowest total mesophilic bacteria count by the end of the storage period.

Marinades are favorite semi-preserved ready to eat food, which is formed by the action of acetic acid and salt from past to present

This study was carried out to evaluate the lipid oxidation and sensory attributes of anchovy marinated with 10% NaCl+4% alcohol vinegar+0.2% citric acid solution and 0.1% different essential oils. Group A Control: only sunflower seed oil, Group B: sunflower seed oil+0.1% rosemary oil, Group C: sunflower seed oil+0.1% coriander oil, Group D: sunflower seed oil+0.1% laurel oil and Group E: sunflower seed oil+0.1% garlic oil. During storage, lipid oxidation as indicated by the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) values of the control group were significantly higher than the other groups containing essential oils. The results showed that the essential oils have retarding effect on lipids oxidation. This effect was the highest in laurel oil during initial 3 months; and it was similar to laurel oil and rosemary oil in the fourth month; in all the essential oil added groups in 6 month. L*(brightness) values were similar for all groups in first fourth months but, at the last 2 months, group using laurel oil was found better. Yellowness (b*) was similar in all groups during the intial 3 months whereas, after that lower values in the groups that used laurel and rosemary oils were detected. The study concluded that marination with 0.1% laurel oil of anchovy can retard lipid oxidation and improve the sensory attributes of the product during refrigerated storage.

Introduction. European anchovy is a nutritive food preferred by everybody with high omega 3 contents. Materials and methods. Within the scope of the study, the anchovy which was caught from different seas in Turkey were compared in view of its lipid quality index and amino acid (AA) profile.

In this study, different application methods (Spice, Brew, Infused Oil) were employed using sumac (Rhus coriaria) and tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) spices and some effects on marinated sea bream were investigated during 180 days of experiment at +4°C. The nutrition composition of the samples, TBARS values, fatty acid values of the oils, and the fatty acid values of the samples on days 0, 15, and 180 were determined. It can be said that the nutritional composition was minimally affected by different application methods. On the last day of storage, TBARS values of the groups were as follows: BS > C>BT > SIO > ST > SS > TIO. No statistically significant difference was observed in the fatty acids results of olive oil, sumac infused oil, and tarragon infused oil obtained by soaking in olive oil (p > .05). TBARS values of all the groups showed strong positive correlation with SFA, MUFA, and PUFA. PUFAs were the predominant fatty acids, followed by MUFAs and SFAs. Practical applications It is important to preserve the quality of oils and fatty acids in the preservation of seafood. It is thought that two antioxidants, sumac and tarragon, can be effective on fatty acids. In this study, different application methods have been tried in marinated sea bream and it has been investigated in which method sumac and tarragon spice provide better preservation on nutritional value and fatty acid composition.
