Fish meal is considered a major source of protein commonly used in domestic animal feeds as well as in commercial aqua feeds. The present study documents the different species used for the production of fish meal in Pakistan and to determine the proximate composition of fish meal samples obtained from these units. Samples of fish meal were collected from nine different commercial fish meal proc...

Fish oil (mainly omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids), differently from lard (mainly saturated fatty acids) has been suggested to have anti-inflammatory effects associated with amelioration of insulin sensibility. An important role in skeletal muscle insulin resistance development has been recently attributed to mitochondrial dynamic behavior. Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that frequently...

Abstract Improvement of nutritive profile pork sausages was performed by fat reduction and partial substitution backfat with soybean oil (SBO). The control sausage made from backfat. For the studied samples, SBO in native pre-emulsified forms used for at 25% (by wt backfat) to produce various contents (30, 20, 10%). Discontinuity protein matrix could be observed increasing content, especially a...

Non-migratory bristlemouth fishes ( Cyclothone spp.) are the most abundant vertebrates on Earth and play an important role in biological carbon pump by remineralizing organic deep ecosystems. Acoustic data net sampling often used combination to estimate fish zooplankton biomass, but this procedure may be subject several sources of error when applied mesopelagic species. For instance, allocation...

To investigate the influence of different dietary fats on lipids and anti-cardiolipin antibody levels, autoimmune NZB/W F1 mice were fed on diets containing 200 g dietary fat as palm oil, lard-soyabean oil (1:1, w/w), soyabean oil, rapeseed oil or fish oil/kg. In addition, each dietary fat group was divided into an early-feeding group with feeding from 2 months of age, and a late-feeding group ...

Abstract The prickly fish is a marine with flat body, many fine spines, flavorful texture, and delicious savory taste. This study aims to analyze several formulations of meat determine the chemical composition fish-based flavoring powder other composite materials. processing ingredients for are meal (60-80%), onion flour, garlic salt, sugar, white pepper powder, turmeric powder. research approa...

-Body weight and length were followed on individual fish throughout major portions of the lifespan in laboratory populations of the male annual fish, Nothobranchius guentheri. In addition, these same populations, hatched at different times, were killed on the same calendar day, and one half the fish of each population were analyzed for total body fat, water and protein. Since the proportion of ...

The aim of this study was to develop a simple method for the automatic estimation of fat content in salmon fillets by means of image analysis. Salmon fillets have a zebra-like appearance, consisting of white myocommata stripes divided by red-coloured muscle tissue. The stripes contain a high proportion of lipid, and it has previously been shown that the proportion of myocommata in a fillet corr...

In this study we report the effects of sunflower, virgin olive and fish oils on the progression of aortic lesions. A total of 24 male New Zealand rabbits (six per each group) were fed for 50 days on a diet containing 3% lard and 1.3% cholesterol, to induce atherosclerosis. An atherogenic control group (A) was killed after this period and three groups were fed for an additional period of 30 days...
