Summary:

Lipid oxidation and functional properties were monitored in spray dried fish powder made from saithe (Pollachius virens) by-products. The fresh powder exhibited slight antioxidant activity in a model system of linoleic acid emulsion. The freshly made powder had low lipid extract-ability in polar solvents and over 30% free fatty acids (FFA). Further lipid oxidation took place during storage, independent of storage temperatures. Functional properties measured by color changes, water-binding capacity, apparent viscosity and protein solubilty changed more during storage at 30 ° C than 0 ° C.
