42 vii c THESIS ABSTRACT Master candidate: Hoang Thi Dung Thesis title: Effect of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L. extracts on the quality of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) fillets during iced storage Major: Food Technology Code: 24180550 Educational organization: Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA) Research Objectives The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes of striped catfish fillets quality in iced storage under treatment of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L.
extracts through parameters such as total viable counts, biochemical (peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, total volatile basic nitrogen), physicochemical parameters (pH, texture, water holding capacity) and sensory properties. Materials and Methods - Materials: Striped catfish fillets (80-100 g) were obtained from striped catfish processing company. Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L.
extracts were obtained from College of Natural Science, Can Tho University. - Methods The striped catfish fillets were given dip treatments in P.02% and 004%, weight/volume) and E.2%, weight/volume) extract solutions (4°C) and in tap water as a control, respectively for 30 min. Fish fillets were stored with fish and ice ratio of 1:1 in weight. The effect of these extract solutions on TVC, PV, TBARS, TVB-N, pH, texture, WHC and sensory properties of striped catfish fillets during iced storage was periodically investigated for 16 days.
- Analytical methods The sensory quality of striped catfish fillets was evaluated using the quality index method (QIM) (Sveinsdottir et al., 2003); the taste of cooked fillet samples was scored using a nine-point scale (Simeonidou, 1997); total viable viii c counts were determined according to the AOAC Official Method (AOAC, 2002); the texture was determined using a texture analyzer; WHC was determined on fish fillets using the centrifugation method described by (Ofstad et al., 1993); pH was measured using a digital pH meter; TVB-N was measured following the method described by Velho (2001); peroxide values were determined according to the spectrophotometric ferric thiocyanate method of Hornero-Méndez et al. (2001); TBARS values were determined according to the method described by Ke & Woyewoda, 1979; the moisture, ash, protein, lipid contents were determined according to the AOAC Official Method 942. Main findings and conclusions The extracts of P.hirta could be applied and used to enhance the iced storage of striped catfish fillets. The self life of the fillets could be prolonged until 12 days when the fillets were treated with 0.
hirta extracts obviously inhibited the formation of primary lipid oxidation and could retain their good quality characteristics in terms of sensory assessment in striped catfish fillets after iced storage time. - The group of 0. amarus extract showed the antimicrobial capacity and reduced the pH values during the initial storage period whereas E. hirta extract did not present those properties.
- Both of plant extract dip treatments did not affect the TVB-N, texture, WHC of striped catfish fillets compared to the control group. INTRODUCTION Striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), a freshwater fish species, is the main commercial cultured fish in the Mekong delta, Vietnam (Phan et al. Striped catfish production reached 1.22 million tons in 2015 (VASEP, 2015). Striped catfish products containing high nutritional quality (Orban et al., 2008) are mainly exported to more than 140 countries around the world and around 10% marketed in Vietnam.
However, striped catfish is an easily perishable product because of its high water activity, nutrient content and presence of autolytic enzymes. The spoilage of fish during storage is usually caused by biochemical reaction such as oxidation of lipids, protein degradation, the microbial growth and metabolic activities, resulting in the short shelf life and the decrease in flesh quality (Arashisara et al. Therefore, taking some measures to delay the deterioration of striped catfish quality and extend its preservation life are worthwhile. In recent years, natural antioxidants from herbals have been studied to improve fish products preservation.
Our previous researches have reported the antibacterial activities of 20 herbal extract samples against two strains of Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from Red Tilapia (Oreochromis sp. Among 20 tested plants, Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L. presented the highest antimicrobial activity by in vitro test.
Phyllanthus amarus Schum. amarus) is one of the herbs that show a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antidiabetic activities. It contains various bioactive compounds e. lignans, flavonoids, hydrolysable tannins, triterpenes, alkaloids (Patele et al.
The presence of high amounts of phenolic compounds in the methanolic extract of P. amarus was found to have potential antioxidant activity as its lipid peroxidation inhibition capacity and free radical scavenging ability (Guha et al. In addition, the extract of P. amarus also showed significant antimicrobial activity against Shigella spp., 1 c Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The antibacterial action was mainly due to the isolated phyllanthin (Manzumder et al. Similarly, Euphorbia hirta L. hirta) has shown biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer (Asha et al. Perumala et al.
hirta hold potential antimicrobial effects against a wide array of pathogenic microorganisms and therefore can be used as a safe, reliable, economical and natural antimicrobial source for therapeutics. This finding may also be useful in food industry as the plant extracts can be used as food preservatives protected against spoilage bacteria growth and food borne pathogens. However, there have been few studies on preservative effect of P. hirta in fish flesh during iced storage.
Therefore, the research entitled “Effect of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L. extracts on the quality of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) fillets during iced storage” was conducted to evaluate the influence of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L.
extracts on changes of striped catfish fillets quality during iced storage. General objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L. extracts on changes of striped catfish fillets quality during iced storage in order to provide scientific evidence for a response to any specific demand on striped catfish fillets quality issues during storage.
Specific objectives - To evaluate the changes of striped catfish fillets quality in iced storage under treatment of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Euphorbia hirta L. extracts through parameters such as total viable counts, biochemical (peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, total volatile basic nitrogen), physicochemical parameters (pH, texture, water holding capacity) and sensory properties.
