Chemical and sensory changes associated Yu-lu fermentation process – A traditional Chinese fish sauce

The production of ‘Yu-lu’, a Chinese traditional fermented fish sauce, was replicated in the laboratory with little adaption in order to study the chemical, microorganism and sensory changes associated with the process. Yu-lu was made by incubating mixtures of small anchovies and 30% salt (salt/fish, w/w) at 30 ± 5 °C for 180 days, then rising the incubation temperature to 50 °C for 7 days. Changes in total soluble nitrogen (TSN), TCA (trichloroacetic acid) soluble peptides, formaldehyde nitrogen, total acid, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N), composition of amino acid, the non-enzymatic browning index and total plate counts of Yu-lu were observed. TSN, formaldehyde nitrogen, TCA soluble peptides, total titratable acid and non-enzymatic browning index increased throughout the fermentation period. Glutamic acid, lysine, leucine and valine were prominent in Yu-lu. The results from QDA test showed that incubation after 180 days for a week can accelerate the flavor formation of Yu-lu.

Effects of the addition of spleen of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) on the liquefaction and characteristics of fish sauce made from sardine (Sardinella gibbosa)

The effects of the addition of spleen of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), at levels of 0%, 10% and 20%, on the liquefaction and characteristics of fish sauce produced from the sardine (Sardinella gibbosa) with different salt concentrations (15%, 20% and 25%) were monitored during fermentation for 180 days. Fish sauces prepared from sardine with spleen supplementation contained greater total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, formaldehyde nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen than did those without spleen addition throughout the fermentation. The rate of liquefaction was dependent on the amount of spleen added. Reduction of salt content accelerated the hydrolysis of fish protein during fermentation. The liquefaction rate of the lower salt-treated samples was generally faster than were those treated with higher salt content. Among all treatments, sardine with 25% spleen and 15% salt added exhibited the greatest protein hydrolysis, particularly at the early stages, suggesting the combined effects of autolysis and spleen proteinase. The greater liquefaction was coincidental with the development of browning as well as the increase in redness of liquid formed. An acceptability test revealed that the samples were different in colour, aroma, taste and overall acceptance (p < 0.05). Fish sauce samples containing 20% salt, without and with 10% spleen addition had similar acceptabilities to commercial fish sauce. Therefore, the addition of spleen, as well as salt reduction, can accelerate the liquefaction of sardine for fish sauce production.     

Seasonal effects on the physicochemical characteristics of fish sauce made from capelin (Mallotus villosus)

Fresh capelin (Mallotus villosus) was harvested from the North Atlantic during both summer and winter fishing seasons. Reaction conditions for fish sauce processing were optimized with respect to temperature, salt concentration and reaction time, using a response surface methodology (RSM) experimental design. Whole capelin was minced and samples were ground with increasing salt concentrations. RSM optimizations were conducted, ranging from 5% to 30% salt, and incubating at 5° intervals from 0 to 65 °C. Autolytic activity was estimated by extracting the liquid formed by the mixture with trichloroacetic acid and estimating protein content by the Lowry method. Samples for fish sauce production were then prepared under optimized conditions by mixing ground capelin with 10% salt and incubating at 50 °C for up to 270 days for the summer capelin and up to 360 days for the winter capelin. Samples were collected at regular intervals and analyzed for liquid yield, moisture, protein, soluble solids, specific gravity, pH, colour and amino acid content. Kjeldahl protein content in the fish sauce from summer capelin was 2.03% after 250 days of fermentation and twice as high as that in winter capelin fish sauce. Moisture content and pH were lower in the summer capelin fish sauce, but Brix and density were higher than those in fish sauce from winter capelin. Brown colour formation was very rapid in the summer capelin fish sauce but slow in the winter capelin fish sauce. Summer capelin may be successfully utilized for the production of fish sauce without added enzymes.

低盐外加曲发酵潮汕鱼露的理化性质变化

以鳀鱼(Engraulis japonicus)为原料,在不同盐质量分数(10%,15%,20%,30%)和不同曲质量分数(0%,5%)条件下发酵30d,然后再增加盐量至30%后继续发酵180d,对整个发酵过程中的总可溶性氮(TSN)、氨基酸态氮(AA-N)、挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)、pH值、非酶褐变指数、游离氨基酸组成、感官及色差变化进行分析。结果表明,低盐发酵及低盐外加曲发酵可加速潮汕鱼露发酵;与低盐发酵鱼露相比,低盐加曲发酵鱼露中TSN、氨基酸态氮以及主要氨基酸(谷氨酸、丙氨酸、赖氨酸)质量浓度有较大提高,其中加盐15%加曲5%工艺风味较好。     

发酵鳀制鱼露的理化与感官性质的变化

鳀鱼中添加30%的海盐(盐/鱼,w/w)后在(30±5)℃条件下自然发酵180d,再在50℃下保温7d。定期测定发酵液的pH值、总可溶性氮(TSN)、氨基酸态氮、TCA可溶性肽、总酸、总挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)、三甲胺氮(TMA-N)、氨基酸组成、红色指数以及非酶褐变指数,并进行感官分析(QDA-test)。结果表明,鳀鱼露发酵过程中,TSN含量、TCA可溶性肽含量、氨基酸态氮、游离氨基酸含量、红色指数以及非酶褐变指数均随着发酵时间的延长而增加,而pH值则随着发酵时间的增加而减少。TCA可溶性肽含量在保温发酵后有明显增长,TVB-N、TMA-N含量与发酵时间不呈明显的线形相关关系。谷氨酸、赖氨酸、亮氨酸、缬氨酸和丙氨酸是鱼露中最主要的氨基酸。感官分析结果表明,鱼露发酵的后期阶段,在50℃短期保温可以起到加速风味成熟与降低不良风味的作用。

Chemical and biological characteristics of protein hydrolysates from fermented shrimp by-products

Protein hydrolysates were prepared through lactic acid fermentation of the inedible portions of shrimp (cephalothorax and exoskeleton), the by-products of shrimp processing operations. The protein-rich liquid hydrolysate was further processed into a concentrated paste via vacuum evaporation at 80 °C or was also processed into a dry powder using a spray drying method at 180 °C/140 °C (inlet/outlet temp). The laboratory compared the composition of the three forms of shrimp protein hydrolysates. The protein and ash content of the hydrolysates ranged from 8.43 ± 0.22 to 46.73 ± 1.29 and 2.03 ± 0.52 to 8.25 ± 0.14 g/100 g of wet weight. All the samples were analyzed for fifteen amino acids; the powder form was analyzed for colour, microbial content, and for heavy metal occurrence.

Biochemical properties of fish sauce prepared using low salt,solid state fermentation with anchovy by-products

Biochemical characteristics of fast fermented fish sauce made by adding anchovy juice during the process of low salt, solid state fermentation were investigated using 3 different techniques (A: adding anchovy juice in the process of making koji, B: adding anchovy juice in the process of fermentation, and C: not adding anchovy juice). After fermentation under optimized conditions, the amino nitrogen contents of sauces A and B were 7.50 and 7.73 mg/mL after two weeks, respectively. Chemical analysis suggested that the amounts of amino nitrogen and reducing sugar, degree of hydrolysis (DH), DPPH radical-scavenging activity, total acidity, and total amino acid in sauce B were higher than those in sauce A. Volatile odorant analysis and sensory evaluation showed that sauce B was superior to sauce A. Adding anchovy juice during the process of fermentation is a good way to produce a fish sauce with a good flavor and nutrition value.     

Novel starter cultures to inhibit biogenic amines accumulation during fish sauce fermentation

Bacteria with amine oxidase activity have become a particular interest to reduce biogenic amines concentration in food products such as meat and fish sausages. However, little information is available regarding the application of these bacteria in fish sauce. Hence, our study was aimed to investigate the effect of such starter cultures in reducing biogenic amines accumulation during fish sauce fermentation. Staphylococcus carnosus FS19 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FS05 isolated from fish sauce which possess amine oxidase activity were used as starter cultures in this study. Fermentation was held for 120 days at 35 °C. The pH value increased in all samples, while salt concentration remained constant throughout fermentation. Aerobic bacteria count was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the control than in inoculated samples as a result of starter cultures addition. However, it decreased during fermentation due to the growth inhibition by high salt concentration. Proteolytic bacterial count decreased during fermentation with no significant difference (p > 0.05) among samples. These bacteria hydrolyzed protein in anchovy to produce free amino acid precursors for amines formation by decarboxylase bacteria. The presence of biogenic amines producing bacteria in this study was considered to be indigenous from raw material or contamination during fermentation, since our cultures were negative histamine producers. Amino acid histidine, arginine, lysine and tyrosine concentration decreased at different rates during fermentation as they were converted into their respective amines. In general, biogenic amines concentration namely histamine, putrescine, cadaverine and tyramine increased throughout fermentation. However, their concentrations were markedly higher (p < 0.05) in the control (without starter cultures) as compared to the samples treated with starter cultures. Histamine concentration was reduced by 27.7% and 15.4% by Staphylococcus carnosus FS19 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FS05, respectively. Both cultures could also reduce other amines during fermentation. After 120 days of fermentation, the overall biogenic amines concentration was 15.9% and 12.5% less in samples inoculated with Staphylococcus carnosus FS19 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FS05, respectively, as compared to control samples. These findings emphasized that application of starter cultures with amines oxidase activity in fish sauce fermentation was found to be effective in reducing biogenic amines accumulation.     

Characteristics of Fish Sauce Made from Pacific Whiting and Surimi By-products During Fermentation Stage

ABSTRACT: The fermentation condition for producing Pacific whiting fish sauce was static atmospheric fermentation with 25% salt at 50 °C. The effective enzymes in fermentation were heat stable and salt tolerant. Fermentation at 50 °C gave higher yields than at 35 °C. Total nitrogen content of whole fish fermented at 50 °C reached the equivalent level of commercial fish sauce before 15 d, supporting the strong degradation effects of Pacific whiting enzymes at earlier stages. Soluble solid and relative gravity also reached commercial level at 60 d. However, color value of unripened fish sauce was far from commercial fish sauce, indicating that ripening may be necessary to develop proper color. Staphylococcus, Bacillus , and Micrococcus were found as predominant microorganisms during fermentation.     

Effects of rice koji inoculated with Aspergillus luchuensis on the biochemical and sensory properties of a sailfin sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) fish sauce

The effects of rice koji inoculated with Aspergillus luchuensis on the biochemical and sensory properties of fish sauce produced from sailfin sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) with different salt concentrations (10% and 20%) were investigated over 10 months. Fish sauces prepared from sailfin sandfish with rice koji and a low salt concentration had higher total nitrogen, amino nitrogen and total free amino acid than did those without rice koji or with a high salt concentration. Sensory evaluation of fish sauces prepared with rice koji and a low salt concentration found better taste, flavour and overall acceptance than those prepared without rice koji during fermentation (P < 0.05). The use of rice koji increased the total nitrogen, amino nitrogen and free amino acid and also enhanced the sensory qualities during fermentation. These results suggest that the use of rice koji can result in a low‐salt fish sauce with better flavour.

Histamine contents of fermented fish products in Taiwan and isolation of histamine-forming bacteria

Twenty-seven imported fermented fish products from Southeast Asian countries and sold in the supermarkets in Taiwan, including fish sauce, fish paste and shrimp paste, were tested to determine the occurrence of histamine and histamine-forming bacteria. The levels of pH, salt content, total volatile basic nitrogen, trimethylamine, and aerobic plate count in all samples ranged from 4.8% to 6.5%, 16.2% to 45.3%, 51 to 275 mg/100 g, 5.4 to 53.9 mg/100 g and 1.0 to 4.2 log CFU/g, respectively. The average content for each of eight different biogenic amines in all samples was less than 90 ppm, except for histamine which has an average content of 394 ppm in fish sauce, 263 ppm in fish paste, and 382 ppm in shrimp paste. Most of the tested fermented fish products (92.6%) had histamine levels greater than the FDA guideline of 50 ppm, while seven of them (25.9%) contained >500 ppm of histamine. Although Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus megaterium were identified as the two histamine-producing bacteria capable of producing 13.7 and 8.1 ppm of histamine, respectively, in trypticase soy broth broth supplemented with 1.0% l-histidine, they were not determined to be the main contributors to histamine accumulation in these fermented fish products.     

Effect of mixed kojis on physiochemical and sensory properties of rapid‐fermented fish sauce made with freshwater fish by‐products

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of mixed kojis on essential indices of fish sauce. Fish sauce inoculated with mixed kojis (FSB, Aspergillus oryzae koji:Aspergillus niger koji = 3:1) and A. oryzae koji (FSA, control) was prepared. At the end of fermentation, the content of amino nitrogen, total soluble nitrogen, Free amino acid (FAA) and glutamic acid in FSB increased by 7.50%, 7.84%, 9.80% and 28.43% compared to FSA, due to higher acid protease activity in mixed kojis. Moreover, flavour groups including phenols, ketones and nitrogen‐containing compounds in FSB were also improved. According to the results of sensory evaluation, FSB showed higher intensity of umami and caramel attributes, lower intensity of ammonia and sour attributes. All the results suggested that the usage of mixed kojis to produce fish sauce was an effective method that can accelerate the fermentation process and improve the flavour of fish sauce made with freshwater fish by‐products.
