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.
