Qualidade dos minced fish de tambaqui (colossoma macropomumcuvier, 1818) e matrinxã (brycon amazonicus spix & agassiz, 1819) procedentes de piscicultura

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the frozen storage on the sensory, chemical, microbiological stability and functional properties of the protein of minced fish of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) and matrinxã (Brycon amazonicus) catering by fish culture located near Manaus (AM), elaborated in laboratories conditions. In general, during frozen storage of minced fish occurs losses on a functionality of proteins as reduction of solubility and of water-holding capacity (WHC), as well as deterioration enzymatic and bacterial, when diverse volatile composites that can incite, among others problems are formed, the oxidative rancidity and the muscular increase of pH. To evaluate the stability of minced of matrinxã and tambaqui during its storage -20ºC had been used parameters as: values of N-BVT, pH, sensory tests and bacteriological countings. The protein solubility and the WHC had been determined to verify the possible alterations in the functionality of proteins due to the freezing. Also the chemical and nutritional characterization of minced was made fish by means of the proximal composition and amino acid profile. The income of the triturated meat was determined, after gotten the processes of decapitation, gutted and separation mechanics. The results had been low: 37.44% and 47.0% for tambaqui and matrinxã, respectively. On the basis of the text of lipids and energy value, both the fish had been classified as semi fat. Tambaqui with 2,66% of lipids and 90,98 kcal and matrinxã with 5,55% of lipids and energy of 127,67% kcal. The fish used in the experiment process high proteins text: 16.74% for tambaqui and 18.61% for matrinxã, being gifts in its composition all the essential amino acids. The protein solubility of minced fish for both the studied species presented a drastic reduction in the first month of storage and it tends to stabilize sixty days after, remaining itself it enters 0,03 and 0,04 g/dL until the end of the experiment. Throughout the one hundred and fifteen days of frozen stockage -20ºC minced fish of tambaqui and matrinxã had presented stability of the CRA that varied between 95 and 97%. The N-BVT, for both minced , presented an increase in first the thirty days, followed of a fall accented until the end of the experiment, being always below of the limit of 30 mg of N-BVT/100 g. The values of pH had shown to a rise of 6,17 the 6,39 for matrinxã and of 6,30 the 6,48 for tambaqui until the sixty days of storage -20ºC and after this period had a fall with trend to the stability. During the frozen storage of minced of matrinxã a reduction of the bacterial countings was noticed. It can have had contamination of the samples or imperfections in the freezing, not having, however, the presence of Escherichia coli. In the sensory evaluation the products of both the species had been remained in quality A throughout the experimental period. The results allow to conclude that minced fish had kept same stability for long periods of frozen storage consisting in an alternative for diversification of the production of the regional fishing industry and allowing the search for other markets, national as in such a way international.
