Executive summary<br />
Main objectives<br />
The purpose of the project was:<br />
• To evaluate both existing and improved ingredients from rest raw materials in the<br />
processing industry for utilization in (1) processing lines for white<strong>fish</strong> fillets (fresh, frozen<br />
and salted fillets of cod and saithe) as well as production of (2) emulsion based foods.<br />
• To develop ingredients with specific functional properties based on the demands from the<br />
market and the industry.<br />
• To improve the competitiveness of the <strong>fish</strong> industry <strong>by</strong> industry driven research<br />
The study has achieved this aim <strong>by</strong>:<br />
• Establishing a knowledge base from literature studies and interviews with the industry.<br />
• Identifying the demands from the industry for specific functional, antioxidative and<br />
bioactive properties of different FPH (commercially available and lab produced (small<br />
scale))<br />
• Showing antioxidative activity of FPH against the most common prooxidant in food<br />
system: haemoglobin and iron.<br />
• Verification of selected effects in <strong>fish</strong> food systems (lean and fatty <strong>fish</strong> food model).<br />
• Studying the effects of raw material and process conditions concerning properties of FPH<br />
and optimization of the process.<br />
• Evaluating the possibilities to utilize proteins and tissues in processing water from<br />
production of cod <strong>products</strong>.<br />
• Studying the quality of FPI from rest raw materials and verification of selected effects in<br />
food systems (formed and breaded <strong>fish</strong> <strong>products</strong>).<br />
• Studying the effects of various protein ingredients and process condition concerning yield<br />
and quality of white<strong>fish</strong> fillets.<br />
• Studying the effect of extraction conditions on the weight average molecular weight and<br />
the mechanical properties of cold water <strong>fish</strong> gelatin.<br />
• Studying the relationship between the mechanical properties and the weight average<br />
molecular weight as well as the molecular weight distribution of cold water <strong>fish</strong> and<br />
