Abstract
This study focused on the inhibition of melanosis formation, shelf-life extension, and the correlation between quality indices under different treatment conditions during the storage of Pacific white shrimp at 0 °C. The treatment groups included: a control sample, samples treated with 0.5% benzaldehyde solution, samples treated with 2% chitosan solution, and samples treated with a combination of 0.5% benzaldehyde and 2% chitosan. Sensory, chemical, and microbiological evaluation methods were applied using quality indicators such as melanosis score, TVB-N, TMA-N, hypoxanthine, and TVC. TVC results demonstrated that the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of benzaldehyde and chitosan extended the shelf life to 12 days (benzaldehyde), 11 days (chitosan), and 15 days (benzaldehyde/chitosan), compared to 8 days for the control. The formation of a Schiff base from the reaction between benzaldehyde and tyrosine was shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity, thereby reducing melanosis. The benzaldehyde and benzaldehyde/chitosan samples maintained acceptable melanosis scores (≤ 6) up to days 12 and 15, respectively, compared to days 8 and 11 for the control and chitosan samples. Changes in TVB-N and TMA-N were analyzed across two stages, autolysis and decomposition, allowing for the development of linear regression equations with high correlation coefficients (R2 ≈ 0.99). Similar linear trends were observed for melanosis and hypoxanthine. The study established strong linear correlations between melanosis score, TVB-N, TMA-N, and hypoxanthine across all treatment groups, providing a foundation for predictive modelling of shrimp quality under different preservation conditions.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.
A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
