Minced Fish Experiment

Superior Essays
This species of fish selected in this experiment was Nemipterus spp (ikan kerisi). Nemipterus spp or Threadfin Bream is major used in the production of surimi as it is known to exhibit good gel-forming ability (Park, 2014). Table 1 above shows the raw data of the fish. The weight of fresh fish is 12.000 kg but after deboning the weight of minced fish meat process was only left 4.970 kg. At the end of the experiment, after all the washing and pressing process, the weight of the minced fish meat reduced to 3.64 kg. The average weight, length, width and thickness of the fish were 0.251 kg, 27.30 cm, 6.5 cm and 3.1 cm respectively.
From table 2, it is clearly shows that the percentage of yield, pH, fat content and moisture content of minced fish at different analysis. In general, the percentages of yield were quite low where were lesser than 50% for all analysis in the experiment. The third washing sample has the highest percentage of yield which was 43.83% while pressed sample has the lowest percentage of yield which was only 30.33%. As during deboning and washing, blood, membrane, and other

The higher the mean score obtain, the lesser the acceptability by the panelist. In this case, from the table, fresh sample shows the highest mean score which was 1.08 ± 0.22a and this sample shows no significance difference between first washing sample. So, it can be said that these two samples are the least acceptable samples by the panelist. While second washing, third washing and pressed samples has lower mean score which were -0.37 ± 0.47b, -0.56 ± 0.62b and -0.54 ± 0.52b respectively show no significance difference between themselves. The lower mean scores for these three samples indicated that these samples are more acceptable by panelists. This is mainly due to these samples are lesser detectable odour and more fairly light colour. Basically, a good quality surimi is odourless and has a creamy white

    Once the experiment was completed, the results of the experiment were reviewed. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis, change in temperatures does effect goldfish respiration rate, was accepted. Goldfish are considered ectotherms which mean that their body temperature changes as their environment temperature changes (White and Campo 2015). Ectotherms have two aquatic ectotherm strategies they use to cope with cold temperatures. The goldfish in this experiment used the first strategy, which is to slow down their metabolism.…

    Average Metabolic Rate Difference of Goldfish in Dark vs. Ambient Light Introduction Metabolism is an interesting field of study to better understand what is happening inside of the body of different organisms that keep them alive. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were used for this experiment since these small animals metabolism can be easily influenced by different variables. This is due to the fact that goldfish are poikilothermic whose internal temperature is influenced by their surroundings. Oxygen consumption was used to measure the metabolic rate when goldfish are in ambient light as the control and dark as the experimental variable.…

    A myriad of topics were discussed in the Frontline documentary, The Fish on my Plate, as journalist Paul Greenberg began a challenge of eating fish every day for an entire year. Greenberg defined this challenge as a way to better understand how fish are beneficial to diets as well as the environment. As this challenge progressed, Greenberg explored the global consumption of fish, overfishing, aquaculture, and the health benefits found in the consumption of fish. I had a few preconceived notions about the topic before viewing the documentary. Judging from the title, I was able to detect that the film was going to discuss the topic of fish, where it came from, the issue of overfishing, and the chemicals found in the protein due to increasing…

I started with an amount of 60 Starfish in my tidal pool. The results of this scenario was that the average amount of Mussel population was 99 at 60 Starfish. As we went down the line in the number of Starfish present in the start of the experiment the number of Mussel population increased. With the amount of 20 Starfish, the Mussel population averaged at 202.67- over double as much as with 60 Starfish.…
