The present study was carried out during 2006-2007 along the southern Caspian Sea. The species composition showed that the common kilka, Clupeonella cultriventris caspia, is dominant species with 89% and then anchovy, C. engrauliformis, has shown only 8.7% while it was already dominant species in the past decades. The overall results indicated that common kilka was replaced with anchov...

In current study, protein hydrolysates were produced using microbial proteases of Alcalase, Protamex and Flavourzyme from by-products (head, skin and viscera) of Alosa (Alosa caspia), a major Clupeonella species in the Caspian Sea. The results indicated that the protein hydrolysate from Alcalase, had the highest protein content (78.91%), protein recovery (80.42%) and degree of hydrolysis (21.06...

Background: Antioxidant activities of plant extracts are being studied to increase the shelf life of fish products. Some plants such as Urtica dioica L. (nettle) can be a good source of antioxidants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydroalcoholic and water extracts of nettle leaf on the chemical properties of superchilled minced meat of the common kilka fish (Clupeone...

Quercus persica has a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that are effective on pathogens and retard lipid oxidation. The aim of this study is using two concentrations of free and encapsulated forms (with two covers: maltodextrin + carrageenan and gelatin + carrageenan) of Q. persica extract (0.5% and 1%) in order to improve the shelf life of minced kilka at the refrigeration tempe...

in present study, the kinetic parameters of purified trypsin from pyloric caeca of common kilka (c.cultriventris caspia) were measured using the amidolytic (bapna) and esterolytic (tame) substrates. the results of the kinetic comparison between bapna and tame substrates showed that kinetic parameters including maximum velocity (vmax), catalytic constant (kcat) and catalytic efficiency (kcat/km)...
