CHAPTER - 2 LITERATURE REVIEW2.1 Introducti<strong>on</strong>The aquaculture <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>dustry is fac<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g major challenges to manage producti<strong>on</strong> cost <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> toachieve high quality st<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>ards of their products. As a result of the high cost <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> volatile supplyof fish meal <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> oil, formulati<strong>on</strong> of aquaculture feeds has evolved <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> order to <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>crease the<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>clusi<strong>on</strong> levels of more cost-effective <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gredients. Numerous scientific studies have addressedthe effects of new feed <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gredients <strong>on</strong> growth <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> feed utilizati<strong>on</strong>; n<strong>on</strong>etheless there is a lack ofresearch focus<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g <strong>on</strong> how these raw materials might affect muscle quality traits.The characteristic red or p<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>k colour <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the muscle of salm<strong>on</strong>id fish is the result ofcarotenoid, ma<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ly astaxanth<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>, depositi<strong>on</strong> with<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> muscle fibers. This quality attribute is closelyrelated to the ec<strong>on</strong>omic value of this product. Fish must obta<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed astaxanth<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> from dietarysources as they are unable to synthesize it de novo. While wild fish obta<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> astaxanth<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> from preythey <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gest. Formulated diets for farmed salm<strong>on</strong>id fish must be supplemented with natural orsynthetic pigment. Astaxanth<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> premixes are very expensive <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> supplementati<strong>on</strong> accounts for15% - 20% of f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al feed cost.One of the most comm<strong>on</strong>ly utilized <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gredients for aquaculture feeds is corn gluten meal, aprote<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>-rich (60% crude prote<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>) by-product of the corn wet mill<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g process. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Corn</str<strong>on</strong>g> wet mill<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g isan <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>dustrial process aim<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g to split the corn kernels major c<strong>on</strong>stituents (starch, prote<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>, germ<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> fiber) <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>to fairly purified fracti<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> to further ref<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed them for feed, food <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>dustrialpurposes.
