Effects of cooking and reheating methods on the fatty acid profile of sea bream treated with rosemary extract

BACKGROUND: The effects of rosemary extract on the fatty acid profile of sea bream fillets cooked by different methods (oven baking, grilling and pan frying) as well as the effects of different reheating methods (microwave and conventional oven) on the fatty acid composition of fish after frozen storage for 4 months were investigated. RESULTS: The proportion of saturated fatty acids increased only slightly in fried samples but significantly in oven‐baked and grilled samples, while the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increased significantly in fried samples but only slightly in oven‐baked and grilled samples. The proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids remained relatively constant after cooking. Of the fatty acids analysed, the most significant increases (P < 0.05) were observed in C18:1n‐9 and C18:2n‐6 and the most significant decreases (P < 0.05) in C14:0, C16:1, C20:5n‐3 and C22:6n‐3. Although sea bream fillets fried in sunflower oil showed an increase in PUFAs, the lowest eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid contents were found in fried samples. CONCLUSION: Sea bream fillets treated with rosemary extract showed slower oxidation than untreated fish. Neither conventional nor microwave reheating after frozen storage for 4 months had a detrimental effect on the fatty acid profile and its stability.

Lipid characteristics in cooked, chill-reheated fillets of Indo-Pacific king mackerel (Scomberomorous guttatus)

Slices of Scomberomorous guttatus cooked by four different methods (microwave cooking, grilling, steaming and shallow fat frying) were kept chilled at 5 °C for 2 days, reheated by microwave and then evaluated for the changes in the lipid characteristics. The total lipid content for raw sample was 6.0 g/100 g which consist of 49.4 g/100 g saturated (SFA), 6.9 g/100 g monounsaturated (MUFA) and 43.8 g/100 g polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Upon cooking, the total lipids changed to about 7 (microwave), 11 (grilling), 5 (steaming) and 10 g/100 g (shallow fat frying). These changes are significant, with the exception of steam cooking. Cooking did not significantly affect the percentage of NPL, PL, SFA, MUFA and PUFA in the samples. Frying resulted in the change of the SFA/PUFA ratio more than other cooking methods. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the content of EPA was only found in the fried samples. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the content of DHA in all cooked samples were also obtained. The n-6/n-3 ratio did not change significantly in all cooked and reheated samples, except for shallow fat fried. Reheating did not significantly affect the NPL and PL contents of the fillets, except for microwave cooked samples. Cooking increases the FFA, PV and TBA of samples; reheating enhances the increase.     

Comparison of the effects of four cooking methods on fatty acid profiles and nutritional composition of red mullet (Mullus barbatus) muscle

This study was performed to examine the effects of different cooking methods (frying, steaming, oven cooking, and microwave cooking) on proximate chemical composition, mineral contents, and fatty acids profiles of red mullet (Mullus barbatus) fillets. The frying process caused a significant increase in fat content (from 13.37±0.04 to 34.44±0.20 g/100 g d.w.) and reduced the proportion of the palmitic acid of 50.73% and saturated fatty acids of 56.9%. While, the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) increased from 4.04% of total fatty acids for raw fillet to 49.17% of total fatty acids for fried fillets. The steamed, oven-cooked, and microwave-cooked fillets showed the best proportion of fat content, PUFA, and ω-6/ω-3 ratio as compared with fried red mullet fillets. Na, Mg, and Zn contents of cooked fish fillets significantly decreased.     

Capability of the rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) extract on the oxidative stability of cooked sea bream (Sparus aurata) during frozen storage

The effects of rosemary extract addition on oxidative stability of cooked sea bream during frozen storage period were investigated. Sea bream fillets were fried, oven baked and grilled. Three groups with rosemary extract were also cooked by the same methods and cooked samples (with and without rosemary extract) were stored in ?18?°C for 4?months. After cooking procedures, the FFA formation was quite similar in fresh-raw and fried sea bream fillets, but significantly increased oven baked (0.31?C0.33% oleic acid) and grilled fillets (0.39?C0.40% oleic acid). The highest value of PV was also obtained from grilled fillets (1.18?C1.58?meq/kg). However, TBA values (1.92?mg MA/kg for fresh-raw fillet) did not increase in sea bream fillets after the frying and grilling procedure except oven baking without rosemary extract (2.41?mg MA/kg). A considerable increase in the FFA, PV and TBA was observed in all cooked groups during frozen storage period. The treated samples with rosemary extract generally showed slower PV and TBA formation than those of the untreated samples. However, the additions of rosemary extract have positive effect on sensory quality of baked sea bream.

Effect of different precooking methods on chemical composition and lipid damage of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) muscle

The influence of three precooking methods (steaming, oven‐baking and microwave‐cooking) on the chemical composition and lipid quality of silver carp fillets was evaluated. The changes in protein, fat and moisture were found to be significant for all the treatments (P ≤ 0.05). The iron content in the samples subjected to steam‐cooking increased; however, the other precooking methods did not change the mineral contents (P ≥ 0.05). The free fatty acid content of the fillets did not change by the different precooking methods, while thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values increased for oven‐ and microwave‐cooked fillets and remained constant in the steam‐cooked samples. Conjugated diene and browning colour formation levels significantly increased in the oven‐baked fillets. Oven‐baking and microwave‐cooking marginally affected the fatty acid composition of the silver carp. On comparing the raw and precooked fillets, steam‐cooking was found to be the best precooking method on retaining nutritional constituents.     

Effects of differences in diet and seasonal changes on the fatty acid composition in fillets from farmed and wild sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.)

The effects of dietary fatty acids and seasonal variation on the fatty acid profiles of farmed and wild sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were determined by analysis of their fillets. Farmed sea bream and sea bass were fed on the same commercial feeds all year. Fatty acid profiles in the fillets reflected the fatty acid profiles of the commercial feeds. The predominant fatty acids in the trial feeds, fillets of farmed and wild sea bream and sea bass were 16:0, 18:1n‐9, 18:2n‐6, 20:5n‐3 and 22:6n‐3. The fatty acid profiles in the fillets of farmed sea bream and sea bass did not differ (P > 0.05) except in the winter season compared with those of their wild counterparts. However, the content of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n‐3), docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n‐3) in the fillets of the farmed and wild sea bass were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the farmed and wild sea bream. The wild sea bream had significantly (P < 0.05) higher total saturated fatty acid and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) levels, and lower total n‐6 and n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels in winter than in the summer and spring seasons. Similarly, in the fillets of wild sea bass, total n‐3 PUFA levels were significantly (P < 0.05) lower, and the MUFA levels were higher in winter than in the other seasons. These results indicate that the farmed fish fillets were good sources of n‐3 PUFA in each of the three seasons. However, wild fish were good sources of n‐3 PUFA in the spring and summer.     

Determination of acrylamide content of food products in Korea

Acrylamide (AA) contents of commercial market‐purchased foods and of traditional home‐cooked Korean foods were investigated. The effect of cooking method on AA amount in potatoes was also studied. AA contents of roasted barley and corn ranged from 116 to 449 µg kg^?1 and of chips ranged from 12 to 3241 µg kg^?1, representing a very high variation in AA contents among tested samples. Lower levels of AA were found in wheat flour chips compared to potato chips. AA contents of ramen noodles were below 37 µg kg^?1, whether they contained potato starch or not. The AA contents of Korean home‐cooked oil fried foods increased in the following order: yakwa < whole deep‐fried sea tangle < ground and deep‐fried lotus root < ground and pan‐fried lotus root < French fries < ground and pan‐fried potato. Lotus root and garlic also had the potential to produce AA during cooking. Pre‐treatment such as grinding, boiling, freezing and thawing increased the AA formation in oil‐fried potato. Temperature was more influential than time on AA formation during deep‐oil frying. Removing water‐soluble fractions reduced AA content of cooked potatoes.

Change in proximate, amino acid and fatty acid contents in muscle tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after cooking

Changes in proximate, amino acid and fatty acid composition of farmed, commercially important rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after conventional and microwave cooking were analysed. Rainbow trouts cooked in microwave ovens had statistically significant higher total protein, total fat, and ash than electrical oven‐cooked samples. The amounts of essential and nonessential amino acids were not different between cooking methods, but the difference between raw and cooked samples was significant. Lysine, leusine, methionine, threonine, valine, arginine and histidine were found most in microwave‐cooked rainbow trouts whereas isoleucine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were found most in electrical oven‐cooked samples. As total saturated fatty acid and total monounsaturated fatty acids amount were not statistically different between the cooking methods, the difference between raw and cooked fillets was found statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between raw and cooked fillets in total n‐3 and n‐6 contents.     

Effects of different cooking methods on chemical compositions,in vitro starch digestibility and antioxidant activity of taro (Colocasia esculenta) corms

The impacts of different cooking methods (boiling, steaming, baking, microwaving and frying) on chemical compositions, starch digestibility and antioxidant activity of taro corms were investigated. Compared with raw taro, boiling and frying reduced crude protein and ash contents. Frying significantly increased crude fat and fibre contents but decreased carbohydrate content. All cooking methods reduced oxalate content, especially frying. Among the cooked products, the boiled taro had the highest rapidly digestible starch (RDS) but the lowest resistant starch (RS) contents. In contrast, the fried taro provided the lowest RDS but the highest RS contents. All cooking methods reduced the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of taro. The boiled taro had the lowest antioxidant activity but the fired taro provided the highest. Frying was able to retain most of the health-promoting compounds with the lowest oxalate content; however, the high consumption of high-fat fried taro may adversely affect human health.     

Mechanisms of Docosahexaenoic and Eicosapentaenoic Acid Loss from Pacific Saury and Comparison of Their Retention Rates after Various Cooking Methods

The docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) contents of Pacific saury (Cololabis saira), a fatty fish and staple of the Japanese diet, have been reported to decrease after cooking. This study compared the DHA and EPA contents remaining in saury after grilling, pan‐frying or deep‐frying to center temperatures of 75, 85, or 95 °C, and examined physical loss, lipid oxidation, and thermal degradation as mechanisms of DHA and EPA loss. Temperature changes inside the saury were monitored using thermocouples, while DHA and EPA contents, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, and measurements of lipid oxidation (that is, carbonyl value and thiobarbituric acid value) were determined chemically. Visualization of temperature distribution inside fish samples during cooking revealed large differences in heat transfer among cooking methods. True retention rates in grilled (DHA: 84 ± 15%; EPA: 87 ± 14%) and pan‐fried samples (DHA: 85 ± 16%; EPA: 77 ± 17%) were significantly higher than deep‐fried samples (DHA: 58 ± 17%; EPA: 51 ± 18%), but were not affected by final center temperatures despite differences in cooking times. Physical loss via cooking losses (grilling and pan‐frying) or migration into frying oil (deep‐frying) accounted for large quantities of DHA and EPA loss, while lipid oxidation and thermal degradation did not appear to be major mechanisms of loss. The antioxidant capacity of saury was not significantly affected by cooking treatments. The results of this study suggest that minimization of physical losses during cooking may increase DHA and EPA contents retained in cooked Pacific saury.     

Influence of Various Cooking Methods on the Concentrations of Volatile N‐Nitrosamines and Biogenic Amines in Dry‐Cured Sausages

Abstract: N‐nitrosamines, biogenic amines, and residual nitrites are harmful substances and are often present in cured meats. The effects of different cooking methods (boiling, pan‐frying, deep‐frying, and microwave) were investigated on their contents in dry‐cured sausage. The various N‐nitrosamines were isolated by a steam distillation method and analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The biogenic amines were determined after extraction with perchloric acid as dansyl derivatives by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The results showed that initial dry‐cured raw sausage contained 5.31 μg/kg of total N‐nitrosamines. Cooking by deep‐frying or pan‐frying resulted in products having the highest (P < 0.05) contents, compared with boiling or microwave treatments, which were not different from the raw. Although frying increased the content of N‐nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N‐nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), and N‐nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR), it decreased the contents of histamine and cadaverine. Boiling and microwave treatments decreased the total biogenic amines significantly (P < 0.05). Residual nitrite was significantly reduced by cooking treatments. The results suggest that boiling and microwave treatments were more suitable methods for cured meat. Practical Application: N‐nitrosamines and biogenic amines are considered potentially harmful substances to humans and often present in dry‐cured sausage. Different cooking methods may effect the content of these harmful substances. However, little information exists on the different cooking methods on dry‐cured meats.     

Effects of cooking methods on the proximate,mineral and fatty acid composition of European eel (Anguilla anguilla)

The influence of microwave cooking and traditional cooking methods such as baking, grilling and frying on the nutritional composition of eels (Anguilla anguilla) was studied. All methods reduced moisture and increased the protein and fat content. Although the potassium and sodium content of fish cooked by different methods decreased significantly (P = 0.000), the calcium and magnesium content increased. The zinc content of the fish was not affected by cooking. The manganese and iron content significantly increased only in fried fish. The copper content was increased by grilling and microwave cooking. The proportion of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in cooked fish decreased. Omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were increased by all cooking methods. The grilling and microwave‐cooking methods were the most suitable considering the n3/n6 ratio and eicosapentaenoic acid levels. The increase in the docosahexaenoic acid level of fried fish enhanced its nutritional value.     

Sterol Content of Fish,Crustacea and Mollusc: Effects of Cooking Methods

Sterol contents (desmosterol, cholesterol, stigmasterol, and sitosterol) of 36 fresh and cooked seafood and four freshwater fish species were investigated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Cholesterol and sitosterol were main sterols in seafood and freshwater fish species. Raw shellfish and molluscs contained cholesterol above 18.92 mg/100 g fish muscle, while the cholesterol content of marine fish ranged from 6.5 to 78.40 mg/100 g fish muscle. The cooking process resulted in significant effects on the sterol contents of seafood and freshwater species (p < 0.05). A remarkable increase in sitosterol (more than 3–4 fold compared to raw fish) was recorded for some fish species cooked in the oven. The highest desmosterol content was observed for fried fish, whereas the frying process resulted in a significant loss in cholesterol and sitosterol contents of marine fish (p < 0.05). The impacts of cooking methods on sterol content of seafood and their form varied depending on fish species and the cooking method used.     

Amino Acid and Vitamin Composition of Raw and Cooked Horse Mackerel

Amino acid, vitamin (A, E, B₁, B₂, B₃ and B₆), and proximate composition were determined in raw and cooked horse mackerel. The changes in amino acid, vitamin, and proximate content were found to be significant for all cooking methods (frying, grilling, and steaming). Cooking did in general significantly increase the contents of essential, semi-essential, and other amino acids compared to raw fish species. Amino acid contents of grilled mackerel were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those found in fried and steamed mackerel. The A, E, B₂, and B₆ vitamin content of fried horse mackerel was found to be significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the grilled and steamed samples. The B₁ content of steamed and B₃ content of grilled were found higher than the other cooked samples. Moisture, protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrate contents of cooked fish ranged between 56.52% to 61.34%, 20.79% and 23.93%, 13.44% and 19.61%, 1.70% and 2.47%, and 1.02% and 4.36 %, respectively. Fried fish had intermediate fat values, while grilled and steamed fishes had a comparatively low value.     

The effect of cooking methods on mineral and vitamin contents of African catfish

Proximate composition, mineral and vitamin contents (A, E, B₁, B₂, niacin and B₆) were investigated in cooked African catfish. Different cooking treatments were used (baking, grilling, microwaving and frying). The protein and ash contents increased in all cooked fish. The fat content increased only in fried fillets. The moisture content of cooked fish decreased. Mineral levels were affected by cooking methods, except for Cu Although the vitamin A content significantly increased in grilled and fried fish, vitamin E increased in all cooked fish. Vitamin B₁ content of cooked fish significantly decreased. Vitamin B₂ and niacin contents of grilled fish increased significantly. B₆ content of cooked fish significantly decreased but this did not occur for the grilled fish. High levels of vitamin and mineral contents were found in grilled catfish.     

The Glycemic Potential of White and Red Rice Affected by Oil Type and Time of Addition

Limited research exists on how different oil types and time of addition affect starch digestibility of rice. This study aimed to assess the starch digestibility of white and red rice prepared with 2 oil types: vegetable oil (unsaturated fat) and ghee (clarified butter, saturated fat) added at 3 different time points during the cooking process (“before”: frying raw rice in oil before boiling, “during”: adding oil during boiling, and “after”: stir‐frying cooked rice in oil). Red rice produced a slower digestion rate than white rice. White rice digestibility was not affected by oil type, but was affected by addition time of oil. Adding oil “after” (stir‐frying) to white or red rice resulted in higher slowly digestible starch. Red rice cooked using ghee showed the lowest amount of glucose release during in vitro digestion. The addition of ghee “during” (that is boiling with ghee) or “before” (that is frying rice raw with ghee then boiling) cooking showed potential for attenuating the postprandial glycemic response and increasing resistant starch content. This is the first report to show healthier ways of preparing rice. White rice with oil added “after” (stir‐fried) may provide a source of sustained glucose and stabilize blood glucose levels. Boiling red rice with ghee or cooking red rice with ghee pilaf‐style may provide beneficial effects on postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations, and improve colonic health. The encouraging results of the present study justify extending it to an in vivo investigation to conclusively determine the effect of time of addition of fat when rice is cooked on blood glucose homeostasis.     

烹制方法对猪肉脂质氧化和挥发性风味物质的作用研究

研究对比了4种烹制方法(煮制、烤制、微波及油炸制(大豆油、花生油和葵花油))对猪肉脂质氧化及挥发性风味成分的影响。结果表明:烹制能够促进猪肉的脂质氧化,经不同方式烹制后,熟制猪肉的过氧化值(POV)和硫代巴比妥酸值(TBA)显著增加(P0.05)。不同熟制猪肉之间脂质氧化程度存在显著性差异(P0.05),其中烤制猪肉的脂质氧化程度最高,其次为微波和水煮,而炸制猪肉的氧化程度最低。气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)联用技术从熟制猪肉中共分离鉴定出68种挥发性风味成分,主要包括醛类、脂肪烃类、醇类、酮类、酯类等,总挥发性风味化合物含量在221.09(大豆油炸制猪肉)-1084.61 AU×106/g(煮制猪肉)之间。醛类是主要的化合物,占总挥发性风味成分的73.78(葵花油炸制猪肉)-78.79%(烤制猪肉),而己醛是最主要的醛类物质。TBA值与醛类、醇类及总挥发性风味物质呈显著正相关(p0.05),而POV值与挥发性风味物质的相关性不显著(p0.05)。主成分分析法(PCA)能够很好地区分经不同烹制方法得到的熟猪肉。
