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.     

The effects of industrial pre-frying and domestic cooking methods on the nutritional compositions and fatty acid profiles of two different frozen breaded foods

This study was carried out to determine the effects of manufacturer pre-frying in olive and sunflower oil, as well as domestic cooking methods (deep-frying in olive and sunflower oil and baking) on the proximate compositions and fatty acid profiles of tuna pasties and ham nuggets. The pre-frying processes reduced moisture and carbohydrates and increased ash, fat and protein content in both pre-fried products. During cooking, the frying processes caused a reduction in moisture content and an increase in fat content in relation to pre-fried samples, while baking did not modify the proximate composition. The fatty acid profiles of products during both the pre-frying and frying processes became similar to those of the culinary fat used. Thus, the frying processes reduced the proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and increased the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in the foods when olive oil was used, whereas increased the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in products fried in sunflower oil. The fatty acid profiles of fried samples tended to be more similar to the frying fat than to the pre-frying fat, whereas the fatty acid profiles identified during the pre-frying process for baked products were not significantly modified. Thus, samples pre-fried in olive oil and subsequently baked showed the best proportion of fat content and PUFA/SFA, MUFA + PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 ratios of the tested products.     

Effects of Four Cooking Methods on the Proximate, Mineral and Fatty Acid Composition of Fish Fillets

The effects of baking, broiling, deep frying and cooking in a microwave oven on the proximate, mineral and fatty acid composition of grouper (Epinephelus morio), red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus), Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) and Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) were determined. The lipid content of low fat species was not significantly changed by cooking, but lipid was lost from fatty fillets during cooking. The fatty acid composition of all fillets was not significantly changed by baking, broiling or microwave cooking. Deep fried fillets absorbed the major fatty acids in the cooking medium, and as the fillet lipid content increased the extent of absorption of fatty acids from the cooking medium decreased. Sodium, potassium and magnesium levels were decreased when low fat species were cooked, but these minerals were not lost when raw fillets containing higher lipid levels were cooked. Cooking did not significantly affect the concentration of the microelements, zinc, copper, iron and manganese.     

Effect of different cooking methods on the oxidation,proximate and fatty acid composition of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) fillets

The influence of seven cooking methods (boiling, conventional baking, microwave baking, grilling, deep-frying in soybean oil, canola oil, or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil) on the oxidation, proximate and fatty acid composition of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) fillets was evaluated. All the treatments reduced moisture and increased the protein content. The free fatty acid content of the fillets was significantly reduced by the different cooking methods, while conjugated diene levels and peroxide values decreased for all fried samples, but remained constant in the samples subjected to the other cooking methods. Boiling and baking increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), while grilling and frying did not change TBARS. Boiling, baking, and grilling did not affect the silver catfish fillets fatty acid composition. Frying in canola oil increased n−3/n−6 ratio, while frying in soybean oil increased the general polyunsaturated fatty acid content, and frying in hydrogenated vegetable oil incorporated trans fatty acids in the fillets.     

家庭烹调对鲟鱼中脂肪酸和胆固醇的影响

对杂交鲟鱼（Acipenser baerii×A. schrenckii）进行了清蒸、油煎、微波、微波烤、烤箱烤和压力锅煎6 种家庭烹调处理,测定其脂肪和胆固醇含量、脂肪氧化指标和各脂肪酸含量的变化。结果表明,所有烹调方法均降低了n-3/n-6多不饱和脂肪酸含量的比值,其中压力烹调比值最高（0.85）,清蒸次之（0.83）,而烤箱烤最低（0.73）。胆固醇保存率以清蒸和压力锅煎最高,两种处理间无显著差异。烹调后样品酸价和硫代巴比妥酸值上升而过氧化值下降,并与样品的胆固醇含量相关。清蒸和压力烹调中脂肪酸和胆固醇变化相对较少,可能与其密闭烹调条件造成氧化程度较低有关。     

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.

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.     

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.     

Formation of trans fatty acids in edible oils during the frying and heating process

To assess an impact of heated edible oils on intake of trans fat, the formations of trans fatty acids (TFAs) in cooking conditions was estimated by a frying and heating model system. For the frying model, sliced raw potatoes (10% of the frying oil (w/w)) were fried in commercially available canola oil at 160, 180 and 200 °C, and the 10 frying cycles were performed. The TFAs contained both in fried potatoes and in frying oils were measured by gas chromatography (GC). Lipids content of raw potatoes was about 0.1% (w/w) and TFAs in the raw potatoes were negligible. On the other hand, fried potatoes contained lipids at the level of 8.8%–9.2% and their fatty acid composition was mostly in correspondence with that of the frying oil. The TFAs amount of potatoes fried by the tenth frying operation was at the level of 0.99–1.05 g/100 g lipids. When 100 g potatoes fried in this process were consumed, the TFAs intake was estimated at less than 0.1 g. After 10 frying operations, TFAs content, acid values and peroxide values of the frying oils were measured and compared with those of corresponding heated canola oils without food. The amounts of trans 18:1 FAs contained both in the frying oil and in heated oil were less than the quantitative limit (0.047 g/100 g oil). The increases of trans 18:2 FAs and trans 18:3 FAs of the used frying oil were 0.02 g/100 and 0.05 g/100 g, respectively, compared with those of the fresh oil. trans 18:2 FAs accumulation in the heated oil was slightly less than that in the frying oil. To elucidate TFAs accumulation in various edible oils during cooking, six kinds of commercially available edible vegetable oils were heated to 180 °C in glass test tubes. Small changes in TFAs amounts were observed after four hours heating. These results suggested that an ordinary frying process using unhydrogenated edible oils has little impact on TFAs intake from edible oils.     

Stability of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids after Microwave Cooking of Fish

The stability of fish oils high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in fresh fish of low, medium and high fat content was investigated using microwave oven cooking. Cooked and uncooked portions of butterfish, mullet, mackerel and sardines were extracted, the lipid recovered and fatty acid composition determined. The effect of cooking was minimal with no detectable difference in total lipid between cooked and uncooked samples. Most important, PUFA were virtually unaffected by the overall cooking and the cooked fish retained their original PUFA composition and content.     

The influence of frying medium degradation on fat uptake and texture of French fries

The purpose of the present investigation was to study the influence of the degree of degradation of different kinds of oils used as a frying medium on fat uptake and texture of frozen pre‐fried French fries. As has been found, the degradation degree of the frying medium depends on the kind of oil and processing time. Liquid hydrogenated rapeseed oil exhibited the best thermo‐oxidative stability among the oils under investigation. The kind of oil influenced fat uptake and the texture of French fries. The lowest fat uptake was observed with French fries fried in solid oil. Some correlations between fat uptake and changes in fatty acid content were found in the frying medium during frying. Fat absorption increased with increasing unsaturated fatty acids and decreasing saturated fatty acid content. The texture of French fries fried in hydrogenated oils was harder than that exhibited by French fries fried in liquid rapeseed oil. The hardness of French fries fried in liquid oils decreased during frying while the hardness of French fries fried in solid oil increased. Some correlations between the texture of French fries and iodine value and fatty acids content of frying media were found. The hardness of French fries increased with increasing content of saturated fatty acids and decreasing unsaturated fatty acids and trans isomer fatty acid content.

Effects of frying on the fatty acid composition in farmed and wild gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)

The effects of frying in soybean (FWSO) and olive oils (FWOO) on the fatty acid composition of farmed and wild gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata were evaluated. The fat content increased with both frying treatments. However, after FWOO the moisture content of the fish was reduced to a greater extent than that in fish FWSO. The concentration of saturated fatty acids (SFA) decreased significantly during both frying processes ( P  < 0.01). However, the concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) increased significantly in fish fried in olive oil ( P  < 0.01). The fried fish contained a higher level of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a lower level of n-3 PUFA compared to raw fish. The n-3/n-6 ratio decreased in wild fish FWSO and FWOO from 0.94 ± 0.08 to 0.15 ± 0.01 and 0.15 ± 0.02, respectively. In farmed bream, the ratios decreased from 2.51 ± 0.03 to 0.18 ± 0.03 and 0.36 ± 0.01, respectively. The concentration of trans fatty acids decreased significantly in both fish types after frying ( P  < 0.05). The frying process widely affected the EPA and DHA content, limiting the positive effects of n-3 PUFA.     

Effect of cooking method on the fatty acid profile of New Zealand King Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Farmed New Zealand King Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was prepared according to common consumer techniques; raw, poached, steamed, microwaved, pan fried (no added oil), oven baked (no added oil) and deep fried (in sunflower oil). The fatty acid profile was investigated to determine the optimal preparation techniques to achieve both optimal sensory and nutritional qualities, in particular the levels of long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. The modified Bligh and Dyer method was used for lipid extraction and the Hartman and Lago method for FAMES preparation. Fatty acid composition was determined by gas chromatography. There were moisture and lipid losses during cooking amongst the different methods. The fatty acid profile showed only minor differences between the methods apart from an increase in PUFA in the deep fried salmon due to linoleic acid uptake from the frying oil. In all the cooking methods the omega-3 fatty acids were well preserved. However, deep fried showed the lowest amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. As the results showed good preservation of omega-3 fatty acids regardless of cooking method, there may be possible “internal protection” of omega-3 fatty acids in King Salmon that warrants future research.     

Changes in fatty acids and polar material of restructured low-fat or walnut-added steaks pan-fried in olive oil

The study aims to determine the influence of pan-frying on the fatty acid composition and fat content and alteration of functional restructured beef steaks. Low-fat (L, 2% fat), 20% walnut-added (W, 13% fat) and medium fat (M, 13% fat) steaks were prepared and fried in extra virgin olive oil. Pan-frying increased fat in L and W steaks and decreased it in M ones. Raw L and M steaks showed similar fatty acid profiles while W ones contained a lower percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) but a higher percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The fatty acid profile of fried steaks was between that of the raw steaks and olive oil. Several fatty acids (g fatty acid/100 g edible steaks) were affected (p < 0.001) by the frying × meat-formulation interaction. Linoleic and linolenic acid contents did not decrease in fried W steaks, but decreased (p < 0.05) when data were expressed on a dry matter basis.Frying increased SFA, MUFA and ω-6 PUFA contents in L samples while it decreased SFA and increased ω-6 PUFA in M steaks. Before and after frying, W steaks had atherogenic and thrombogenic indexes at least three times lower than their counterparts. Both indexes decreased in fried L samples while only the AI in M ones. Polar material content (PM) increased only in L samples. No relevant differences were found between PM of the fried steaks and that of their corresponding used oils. Results suggest that pan-frying improves the fatty acid composition of L and M steaks with minor changes in PM. The high retention of lipids observed in the W samples permits consumption of ω-3 PUFA- and ω-6 PUFA-enriched meat with a very low content of alteration compounds.

Effects of pan-frying in margarine and olive oil on the fatty acid composition of cod and salmon

Effects on the fatty acid composition of cod (Gadus morhua) and salmon fillets (Salmo salar) after pan-frying in margarine and olive oil were determined. The fatty acids of the margarine used were 55.5% saturated (SFA), 33.0% mono-unsaturated (MUFA) and 11.5% polyunsaturated (PUFA). The olive oil used contained 15.4% SFA, 76.1% MUFA and 8.5% PUFA. Using margarine or olive oil increased the SFA and MUFA percentages, respectively, in both species. For cod fillets (lean), pan-frying increased the fat content (0.55–4.15 g/100 g and 0.55–2.30 g/100 g before and after pan-frying, with margarine and olive oil, respectively), whereas, for salmon fillets (fat), it decreased (13.91 to 10.57 g/100 g and 15.35 to 12.95 g/100 g before and after pan-frying with margarine and olive oil, respectively). In conclusion, the culinary fat selection affects the total fatty acid content and composition of the prepared fish fillet.     

Chemical,volatile and textural attributes of a ready-to-eat fried loach (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Misgurnus anguillicaudatus</Emphasis>)

Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) from Heilongjiang Province, China, was processed via curing in brine solution and frying in soybean oil to obtain a ready-to-eat fried loach in this study. Some chemical, volatile, and textural indices of the fried loach were assessed to reflect its quality attributes. The fried loach had enhanced protein and lipid contents of 349.4 and 200.6 g/kg, respectively, and increased ash and NaCl contents, as the results of curing as well as frying-induced water loss and oil uptake. The fried loach also had the respective ratios of essential amino and fatty acids to total amino and fatty acids about 39 and 13 %. Protein fraction from the fried loach had amino acid profile similar to that of the fresh loach, indicating the frying had insignificant impact on loach protein. As the result of oil uptake, lipid fraction of the fried loach was different from that of the fresh loach in fatty acid profile, including higher oleic (46.4 vs. 44.8 %) and linoleic acids (12.4 vs. 3.6 %) but lower docosahexenoic (8.7 vs. 10.4 %) and arachidonic acids (0.8 vs. 2.8 %). In comparison with the fresh loach, the fried loach showed increased hardness, springiness, and chewiness by 65, 98, and 385 %, respectively. In addition, twenty-six volatiles of six types and twenty-eight volatiles of eight types were detected in the fresh and fried loaches, respectively; however, the furans and pyrazines arisen from the frying were only detectable in the fried loach.     

大鲵汤加工过程中营养品质变化规律

分析大鲵汤加工过程中营养品质的变化规律。测定5个不同熬煮时间(30、60、90、120、150 min)条件下大鲵汤的一系列营养指标,包括可溶性蛋白质含量、粗脂肪含量、可溶性固形物含量、肌苷酸含量、定性定量脂肪酸组成和游离氨基酸组成。结果表明:大鲵汤中可溶性固形物与可溶性蛋白质含量在30~60 min间显著增加,在60~120 min间趋于平衡,在120 min后显著增加;肌苷酸含量随熬煮时间延长而增加;测得以棕榈酸、十六烯酸、油酸、亚油酸、花生四烯酸和二十四碳烯酸为主的16种脂肪酸,且饱和脂肪酸和多不饱和脂肪酸比值(saturated fatty acids/polyunsaturated fatty acids,SFA/PUFA)呈现出先减小后增大的趋势,在60 min时粗脂肪含量和脂肪酸含量适宜,且SFA/PUFA值最佳为1.37;大鲵汤中总氨基酸含量、必需氨基酸含量、鲜味氨基酸含量、必需氨基酸与非必需氨基酸比值(essential amino acid/non-essential amino acid,EAA/NEAA),随熬煮时间的延长先上升后下降,在60 min时达到峰值,总氨基酸含量为239.529 mg/100 g,EAA/NEAA值为0.858。在传统的常压熬煮条件下,熬煮时间为60 min时大鲵汤营养品质好,此时汤中脂肪含量适宜且SFA/PUFA值最佳,氨基酸含量最高。     

Sensory and textural attributes and fatty acid profiles of fillets of extensively and intensively farmed Eurasian perch (Percafluviatilis L.)

Sensory attributes, texture and fatty acid profiles of fillets of Eurasian perch (Percafluviatilis L.) reared under two conditions were compared. Perch were reared either in an extensive pond-based (EC) system in polyculture with carp, or intensively cultured (IC) in a recirculation system. Attributes of raw and cooked fillets of marketable perch (120–150 g) were compared. No significant differences were found between groups for odour, flavour, aftertaste, or consistency in subjective evaluation of cooked fillets. The texture profile analysis (TPA) showed raw fillets from the EC group to exhibit higher values of hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, and gumminess than the IC group. Fish from the IC group had a lower content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a higher content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in comparison to EC perch. The proportion of iso- and anteiso-SFAs was 2.6% in the EC group and 0.75% in the IC group. The content of n−3 PUFA was lower in IC than in EC, while the content of n−6 PUFA was higher in IC than in EC. The ratio of n−3:n−6 PUFA was 1.42 for the IC group and 2.85 for the EC group.     

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.
