Development and Biochemical Composition Assessment of Fish Powders from Bangladeshi Indigenous Fish Species and Shelf-Life Characteristics Evaluation During 90 Days of Room Temperature (27°C - 30°C) Storage

Abstract

In Bangladesh, Fish is a major source of daily protein intake of millions of people but most of the fishes are consumed here as fresh fish which is highly susceptible to damage during transportation and marketing. Therefore, an innovative approach was undertaken to process the fish to avoid damage and extend shelf-life while preserving the nutritional qualities to facilitate the more efficient use of fish as a source of protein and other essential nutrients. This study was conducted to develop some dried protein-enriched fish powders from some commonly consumed fish species in Bangladesh and the nutritional, sensorial, and safety qualities were assessed. Five indigenous abundant fish species including small indigenous fish (SIS) and carp fishes namely Awaous grammepomus, Channa punctata, Puntius puntio, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Labeo rohita were used for the preparation of dried protein-enriched fish powders. Biochemical, trace elements, sensorial, total viable count (TVC), pH, peroxide value, and moisture reconstitution during 90 days storage period were performed by standard analytical methods. The moisture, protein, fat, ash, carbohydrate (including fiber), and energy contents were ranged from (6.84% to 8.85%), (70.80% to 75.80%), (5.85% to 8.04%),

Production and Evaluation of Quality Characteristics of Edible Fish Powder from Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) and Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)

“…Both samples showed a similar pH of 6.40 ± 0.04 and 6.32 ± 0.12. In the present study, the pH of both samples was close to neutral and showed similar results from diferent studies [9,26]. Moreover, some active compounds in fsh powder are highly stable at neutral pH, which plays an important role in the stability of these compounds [38].…”

“…Meanwhile, the lipid content of the powder was determined using a petroleum ether extraction utilising a Soxhlet apparatus [25]. Rather than being studied directly, the total amount of carbohydrates in samples has been estimated by subtracting method, and the Atwater factor was used to calculate energy [26].…”

Nutrient Profile of Some Important Native Fishes of Nepal

“…Crude protein (%) was found 64.68 ± 0.9 in the snake head (Channa punctatus) in the present findings. It is higher to [35] findings of 62.85% protein contents in the sun dried snake head (Channa punctatus). The crude protein contents was found 57.23 ± 5.5% in the oven dried Sahar (T. putitora) in the present findings, which is slightly higher than the crude protein contents reported by [22] which was 53.9 ± 5% in the smoked T. putitora.…”

“…In the present findings, highest level of 66.10 ± 0.71% crude protein was found in the Labeo rohita (Table 2). Crude protein contents in the sun dried rohu (Labeo rohita) was reported 59.2% [35], while [36] was reported 72.63 ± 0.1%in the powder of sun and mechanical dried rohu (Labeo rohita). In the present study, the crude protein contentin Puntius sophore was 43.46% is close to protein content (42.4%) reported by [37].…”

“…(1) rather than direct analysis. At first, the weight of moisture, ash, protein, fat, and crude fiber was determined individually in the sample, then summed those weights and subtracted from the total weight of the sample ( Mahmud et al., 2019 ). % of carbohydrate = [100 - (Moisture% + Ash% + Protein% + Fat% + Crude fiber%)] …”
