Stability of Fish Powder Made from Saithe (Pollachius virens) as Measured by Lipid Oxidation and Functional Properties

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.
