• Bioactive properties<br />
• Emulsifying properties<br />
• Physical properties (WHC, pH, viscosity, colour, protein solubility)<br />
• Mechanical properties (Bloom value, Dynamic storage modulus, polydispersity index)<br />
• Stability (microbial count, TVB-N)<br />
• Degree of hydrolysis (DH)<br />
Analyses of food <strong>products</strong> with ingredients:<br />
• Chemical composition (Fat, water, protein, salt)<br />
• Yield (total yield, cooking yield, frying yield, drip loss)<br />
• Stability (microbial count, TVN, TVB, sensory)<br />
• Physical properties (WHC, NMR, pH, texture, viscosity, MRI)<br />
Concrete results and conclusions<br />
• The rest raw materials from the processing industry, such as the head, backbones,<br />
trimmings (cut-offs), skin and guts, have different properties and are thus basis for<br />
different ingredients and applications. Production of quality ingredients can only be<br />
achieved <strong>by</strong> selection, documentation and correct treatment of food grade raw material.<br />
• The project has demonstrated how value of processing water, rest raw materials and<br />
under-utilized species can be increased. Moreover the project has revealed how the<br />
quality and value of <strong>fish</strong> mince as an ingredient can be improved.<br />
• The project has demonstrated the effects of protein ingredients on different processed<br />
white<strong>fish</strong> fillets (fresh, frozen and salted). Using <strong>fish</strong> proteins as ingredients in processing<br />
lines for white<strong>fish</strong> generally improved the final <strong>products</strong>. The improvements were mainly<br />
in the form of lower drip loss during storage, higher cooking yield and increased protein<br />
content.<br />
• Using <strong>fish</strong> proteins as ingredients in emulsion based <strong>products</strong> affect different functional<br />
properties. This project has collected valuable data on to what extent different process<br />
conditions of FPH will affect important properties including potential to extend shelf life<br />
<strong>by</strong> acting as an antioxidant against haemoglobin (Hb) and iron induced oxidation.<br />
Moreover the project has revealed indications on some specific bioactive properties.<br />
• The project has also demonstrated the importance of storage conditions and freshness of<br />
the ingredient (FPH) when applied in food and that the hydrolysate itself can add bad<br />
taste to the product <strong>by</strong> chemical degradation during storage.<br />
