Ginger essential oil and supercritical extract as natural antioxidants in tilapia fish burger

Abstract

The effects of the ginger extract obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction (SCE) and ginger essential oil (EO) on the quality changes of tilapia fish burger was investigated during refrigerated storage for 8 days. The formulations were compared with a control (without antioxidant) and one with sodium erythorbate (SE). The fish burger pH reduced from 6.7 to 6.5 after 6 days, for all formulations. Products became yellowish after 8 days. SCE and SE showed the lowest Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values at 8 days and had the highest antioxidant activity. Flavor and overall impression of the ginger‐containing fish burgers presented the lowest scores, due to the strong ginger flavor. Based on the TBARS results, SE and SCE increased shelf life from 6 to 8 days, compared to control and EO. In conclusion, SCE was effective in controlling lipid oxidation in the fish burger and has the potential to replace synthetic antioxidants. Practical applications Antioxidants are used to extend the shelf life of foods as they can reduce lipid oxidation. Synthetic antioxidants are the most employed in the food industry; however, they present health concerns. Ginger extract obtained by supercritical CO2 and ginger essential oil were applied in tilapia fish burger and compared with sodium erythorbate. Supercritical CO2 extraction is clean technology, uses low temperatures and leaves no residues. Ginger supercritical extract showed high antioxidant activity and controlled the product lipid oxidation. It presents as an alternative to replace commercial antioxidants in meat and fish products.

Effect of the use of guabiroba bark and functional ingredients on the characteristics of Nile Tilapia burger

“…Lower results were found by Mattje et al. (2019) for a Tilapia burger that presented C * values of 15 and h ° of 77.1. Although the authors also worked with tilapia, they used other condiments, which caused this difference.…”

Purification, structural analysis, and stability of antioxidant peptides from purple wheat bran

“…Almost all bioactive peptides containing Tyr, Leu, Ala, Ile, Val, Lys, Phe, Cys, Met, and His exhibit high antioxidant activities [ 9 ]. Another study also indicated that antioxidative peptides often contain hydrophobic amino acid residues, such as Pro, Tyr, Trp, Met, Gln, and Ala, which are generally considered antioxidants in some cases [ 1 , 29 , 30 ]. The present results show the following: peptide 1 (Fig.…”

“…Antioxidants are substances that counteract the oxidation reaction caused by free radicals. Antioxidants are used to extend the shelf life of foods because they reduce lipid oxidation [ 1 ]. Synthetic antioxidants are commonly used in the food industry [ 2 ].…”

Caracterização Físico-Química, Antioxidante E De Aminoácidos Da Castanha Do Baru, Castanha De Caju E Castanha-Do-Brasil

“…Os extratos, devido a sua origem, são classificados como produtos naturais, o que tem aumentado a aceitação por parte dos consumidores, que estão cada vez mais preocupados em obter alimentos saudáveis (Sacchetti et al, 2005;Sivasothy et al, 2011;Lima Júnior et al, 2013). Antioxidantes naturais na indústria de alimentos são importantes não apenas devido a sua utilidade como método de prevenção da oxidação, aumentando a vida útil de uma grande variedade de alimentos (Ibañez et al, 2003;Fennema et al, 2010, Mesomo et al, 2012Mattje et al, 2019), mas também devido seus efeitos benéficos na saúde humana.…”
