Whole inshore male capelin (Mallotus villosus) were stored at −23 °C for 2 mo (C2), or 6 mo (C6) prior to thawing, beheading and eviscerating, and refreezing. Though the quality of the twice-frozen product was in both cases inferior to a once-frozen sample, it was still quite acceptable after 2 yr of refrozen storage. As expected, quality was superior in the C2 samples, but in both sets of samples taste deteriorated to a greater extent than texture. Chemical measurement of peroxide value indicated a possible development of rancidity that could not be detected by sensory analysis. Considerable lipid hydrolysis occurred, with the free fatty acids (FFA) at least doubling during storage; increases were greater in C6. In both experiments FFA production correlated with texture, taste, and with extractable protein nitrogen (EPN). Dimethylamine (DMA), trimethylamine (TMA), hypoxanthine, and EPN appeared to be good indicators of storage time and sensory quality. Key words: capelin, dimethylamine (DMA), extractable protein nitrogen (EPN), free fatty acids (FFA), hypoxanthine, peroxide value, refrozen storage, taste, texture, trimethylamine

Trawler-caught cod were frozen before and after rigor mortis in brine (23% NaCI) and between refrigerated plates, thawed in circulating water at 7 C or in a conveyorized microwave oven, then processed into fillets which were packaged, plate-frozen, and stored at −18 C.All samples thawed satisfactorily in circulating water. Some overheating was encountered during thawing in microwaves. But the equipment was not developed sufficiently to permit assessment of the commercial potential of microwave thawing.Examinations of the fillets from the thawed fish for appearance, odor, and texture showed that freezing pre-rigor is preferable to freezing post-rigor and that thawing by means of microwaves is preferable to thawing by means of water. Freezing or thawing methods did not affect the pH of the thawed fillets.Results of organoleptic and chemical tests to determine the changes in quality of the refrozen fillets packaged and stored at −18 C for 12 months indicated that neither the average taste panel scores nor the chemical tests for moisture, total lipid, free fatty acids, and extractable protein nitrogen showed any difference attributable to state of rigor, freezing method, or thawing method. The taste panel slightly preferred the texture of fillets from fish frozen pre-rigor and from fish frozen in brine. Free fatty acids increased sharply as a result of thawing and refreezing, and the rapid increase continued during the first 2 months of frozen storage. Taste panel scores correlated significantly with free fatty acids (1% level) and with extractable protein (5% level).

The partial substitution of margarine with mature avocado pear pulp in the production of cookies was investigated. Five cookie samples were produced with avocado pear pulp and margarine blends in the ratios 80:20%, 70:30%, 60:40%, 50:50%, and 100% margarine serve as the control, labeled as B, C, D and E and A, respectively while the other ingredients used remain constant. The physico-chemical (proximate compositions, free fatty acids (FFA), iodine value, and peroxide value) and sensory qualities of the cookies were evaluated using standard methods. The results show ranged in moisture (11.13 to 14.60%), crude protein (6.93 to 7.83%), crude fat (16.00 to 18.03%), ash (1.40 to 2.09%), crude fiber (0.29 to 0.62%), carbohydrate (59.70 to 62.79%), FFA (0.35 to 1.01 mg KOH/g), iodine value (75.63 to 81.17 g I2/100 g) and peroxide value (2.96 to 5.27 meq/kg). The partial substitution of margarine with avocado pear pulp produced nutritious cookies with desirable organoleptic qualities. Also, the results demonstrated that cookies had acceptability up to a 30% level of substitution with avocado pear pulp. The findings indicated the feasibility of avocado pear pulp in fat-reduced cookies preparation, this will reduce the pressure in using only margarine in cookies making and diversify the use of avocado pear.

Rejected-duck meat was obtained from old laying duck that unproductive aged 24-26 months. The purpose of this study was to determine the oxidation potential of curcumin extract and its potential in curing rejects the acceptability of duck meat and meat properties during frozen storage. The material used was 36 female rejected-duck the age range 24-26months. The experimental design used was completely randomized design with 3x4 factorial variation. This factor of 0.0 %; 0.1 % ; 0.2 % and 0.3 % curcumin extract and the curing time 5, 10 and 20 minutes. The parameters examined included the acceptability of duck meat cured was determined by the method of Hedonic Test, moisture content , fatcontent, fatty acids and peroxide value of frozen storage for 8 weeks. The results showed that duck meatwas acceptable salvage most of duck meat with curing using 0.3 % turmeric extract with a curing time for 10 minutes. The addition of curcumin turmeric extract the meat of rejected-ducks could inhibit fatty acid peroxidation approximately 39.55 m.eq in frozen storage for five weeks. Water content and fat showed no real difference. However, free fatty acids increased significantly up to 5 weeks. Peroxide value increased until the fifth week of 39.55 %, and then decreased. From thisstudy it can be concluded that the best use extract acceptability of curcumin 0.3 % with long curing 10 minutes, the frozen storagefor8weeks.Keywords: Rejected- ducks meat, curcumin, antioxidant, acceptability and quality of the meat ABSTRAKDaging itik afkir diperoleh dari itik petelur yang sudah tidak produktif yang berumur 24-26 bulan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui potensi oksidasi dari ekstrak kurkumin dan potensinya dalam curing daging itik afkir terhadap akseptabilitas dan sifat daging selama penyimpanan beku.Materi yang digunakan 36 ekor itik betina afkirdengan kisaran umur 24-26 bulan. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap pola faktorial 3x4 dengan faktor variasi ekstrak kurkumin 0,0%; 0,1%; 0,2% dan 0,3% dan lama curing 5, 10 dan 20 menit.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa daging itik afkir yang paling akseptabel adalah daging itik dengan curing menggunakan 0,3% ekstrak kunyit dengan lama curing selama 10 menit. Penambahan ekstrak kurkumin kunyit pada daging itik afkir mampu menghambat peroksidasi asam lemak sekitar 39,55% pada penyimpanan beku selama lima minggu. Kadar air dan lemak menunjukkan perbedaan yang tidak nyata. Namun asam lemak bebas mengalami kenaikan yang signifikan sampai minggu ke 5. Angka peroksida meningkat sampai minggu kelima sebesar 39,55 m.eq, kemudian menurun. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa akseptabilitas terbaik menggunakan ekstrak kurkumin 0,3% dengan lama curing 10 menit, pada penyimpanan beku selama 8 minggu.Kata kunci:Daging itik afkir, antioksidan kurkumin, akseptabilitas dan kualitas daging

Nitrogen and sulphur, both vital structural elements, are especially needed for the synthesis of proteins and oils. Investigations revealed the required application of sulphur is one half to one third the amount of nitrogen, and the ratio becomes narrower in mustard (Brassica juncea L.), followed by wheat and rice. The efficiency of an increased level of nitrogen required a proportionately higher amount of sulphur. A critical investigation on the effective utilization of applied vis-à-vis absorbed nitrogen in wheat and mustard envisaged accumulation of NO3-N in vegetative parts when sulphur remained proportionately low. Application of sulphur hastened the chemical reduction of absorbed NO3–for its effective utilization. The effect was more pronounced in mustard than in wheat. Easily available forms of sulphur, like ammonium sulphate and gypsum, as compared to pyrite or elemental sulphur, maintained adequate N to S ratio in rice, resulting in a reduction in the percent of unfilled grain, a major consideration in rice yield. A narrow N to S ratio, with both at higher levels, increased the oil content but raised the saponification value of the oil, a measure of free fatty acids. Whereas, a proportionately narrow N to S ratio at moderate dose resulted in adequately higher seed and oil yield with relatively low saponification value, associated with increased iodine value of the oil, indicating respectively low free fatty acids and higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, an index for better quality of the oil.
