Designing a Clean Label Fish Patty with Olive, Citric, Pomegranate, or Rosemary Extracts

The natural functional ingredients derived from pomegranate (41.4% punicalagin), rosemary (5.8% carnosic acid and carnosol), hydroxytyrosol (7.3%), and citrus (55% hesperidin) fruits were combined separately with acerola (17% vitamin C) and essential oils rich in fatty acids (45% α-linolenic (ALA) and 40% docosahexaenoic (DHA)) provide a natural substitute of synthetic preservatives for fish patties, avoiding E-numbers on labels. Microbiological and physicochemical properties of the formulations were examined, sensory analysis was conducted, and changes in their shelf life due to storage for 14 days under chilled storage, adding these ingredients, were determined. The results obtained showed that the fish patties reported a high level of protein (14%), low fat (<2%), with a high contribution of phosphorus and selenium minerals, and higher levels of ALA up to 40% (in the case of rosemary extract (R)) and DHA by 30% (Ct), compared to the Control sample. The fish patties suffered microbiological, flavor, and odor spoilage and rapid lipid oxidation associated with rancidity. It can be said that the fish preparations have a duration of less than 7 days (between 4–6 days), except for the preparation with pomegranate extract (P) that has a longer life, from 7 to 11 days. Consequently, replacing synthetic additives by natural extracts offers a new clean label product with potential health benefits that resembles the commercial fish patties.

Effect of addition of banana peel powder (Musa balbisiana) on physicochemical and sensory properties of fish patty

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the physicochemical and sensory properties of fish patties added with banana peel powder (BPP), Musa balbisiana. Design/methodology/approach Four different fish patty formulations were produced containing 0 per cent (BPP0) (Control), 2 per cent (BPP2), 4 per cent (BPP4) and 6 per cent (BPP6) of BPP (M. balbisiana). Findings The addition of BPP was shown to improve the hardness, cooking yield, water holding capacity (WHC) and redness (a* value) as well as the dietary fibre (DF) content (p<0.05). The BPP, however, also turned the fish patties darker (lower L*) (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation showed that fish patties with a concentration of 2 per cent BPP had the highest overall acceptability, whereas the concentration of 6 per cent BPP was found to be unacceptable compared to that of control sample (p<0.05). The declining sensory acceptability of fish patty with 6 per cent BPP is related to the harder texture and the darker color of the patties compared to the control sample (BPP0). Originality/value The addition of BPP can potentially improve the quality of fish patties in terms of textural properties (hardness) by increasing their WHC, reducing the cooking loss and enhancing the DF content.

Identification of health and safety management system components in the fish patty production

The article reveals research on the development of health and safety management system components for making fish patties from different species of shark catfish (Pangasianodon Hypophthalmus), croaker (Otolithus Sp), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys Molitrix), Atlantic mackerel (Scomber Scombrus) and lizardfish (Saurida Tumbil). It suggests a nomenclature of fish patty safety indicators including hygienic, microbiological, identificational, and also the product list, ingredients, organoleptic properties, physical and chemical properties, nutritional energy value, date of manufacture and date of packaging, expiry date and storage conditions, batch number, conformity markings, name and location of the manufacturer. The research has analyzed the fish patty production block diagram and determined critical control points. Based on the cause and effect diagram for defects in fish patties, all defects are grouped into three blocks: defects due to the poor quality of raw material, processing defects, defects due to improper storage, transportation and sale. The obtained results have underlain the guidelines to prevent defective products at the stages of acceptance, manufacture, storage, and transportation of products to the consumer. The research also communicates recommendations for procurement of raw materials, production control, and qualification requirements for personnel, labor protection and metrological control of the equipment used. HACCP components have been successfully identified: preventive measures for hazards identified in the production of fish patties, 6 critical control points, a draft HACCP plan, and a prerequisite program.
