Protein denaturation in frozen stored hake (Merluccius merluccius L

Influence of sodium chloride and modified atmosphere packaging on microbiological, chemical and sensorial properties in ice storage of slices of hake (Merluccius merluccius)

The effect of an optimum gas mixture (50% CO2:45% N2:5% O2) on hake slices (Merluccius merluccius) was studied when combined with a sodium chloride dip (5 min in 5% NaCl solution). Exudation, water binding capacity (WBC), microbial growth, as well as undesirable chemical (pH, total volatile bases, lipid oxidation), and sensory alterations (raw fish odour) cooked fish flavour), were monitored. V...

Trimethylamine oxide and derived compounds’ changes during frozen storage of hake (Merluccius merluccius)

Changes in total volatile bases (TVB), dimethylamine (DMA), formaldehyde (FA), trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) of whole hake (Merluccius merluccius L.) were evaluated at different temperatures of storage: -5, -12 and -20°C. Significant changes in TVB, DMA, TMA, TMAO nitrogen and FA were observed at 5°C. Only TMAO changed significantly at -12°C and -20°C. TMAO decrease was n...

Optimization of a Cytochrome-P450-Monooxygenase-1A-Mediated EROD Assay in the Cape Hake Species Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus (Pisces)

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 1A (CYP1A) is induced by several planar toxic compounds, for example, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the induction of this protein is often measured in terms of CYP1A-mediated 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity. This study was aimed at developing this assay in the Cape hake species Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus (considered one stock...

DIFFERENTIAL LIPID DAMAGE IN VARIOUS MUSCLE ZONES OF FROZEN HAKE (Merluccius merluccius)

Research Article: Modeling the trajectories of growth and reproduction in European Hake (Merluccius merluccius, L. 1758) from the Sea of Marmara, Turkey

The study evaluated to model the growth and reproduction aspects of the hake, Merluccius merluccius, in the Sea of Marmara. On-board sampling was conducted on the commercial beam trawl fishery from February 2016 to January 2017. For the growth trajectories, using monthly length frequency data set, different methods were employed to improve parameter optimization. The variation of reproductive i...
