We describe a new method for the isolation of 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) that have been declared "off-flavor" organoleptically. The method involves microwave cooking fish under a nitrogen stream and trapping the condensate at −80 °C. The fish condensate was extracted with hexane which was reduced to 100 μL and analyzed by gas chromatography. Concentrations as low as 5 ng MIB∙g fish−1 were routine detected. A bioconcentration value for MIB in off-flavored fish flesh was 28.1 ± 14.0 (±SD) concentration water/concentration fish. Analysis of off-flavored fish collected at the processing plant consistently showed elevated concentrations of MIB. Geosmin, another compound known to cause flavor and odor problems in fish flesh, was not detected.

Representative samples of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque) were obtained from five processing plants and analyzed by gas–liquid chromatography for fatty acid composition of muscle tissues. Twenty-three fatty acids were measured. The saturated fatty acids comprised 26.5%, monoenes 48.1%, dienes 13.0%, trienes 3.1%, tetraenes 3.6%, pentaenes 1.3%, and hexaenes 1.9% of total fatty acids. Fatty acid composition varied significantly (P <.01) among fish obtained from the same plant, and in addition, significant variation associated with processing plant was observed for some fatty acids.

This paper reports a new method for the determination of sludge water content by a multiple headspace extraction gas chromatographic (MHE-GC) method. It is based on the water vapor signals in the sample vial from the first five extractions.
