Preparation of coating solutions
Chitosan solution was prepared with 2 % (w/v) chitosan in 1% (v/v) acetic acid glacial. The solution was placed on a hot plate/magnetic stirrer for 6 h. The resultant chitosan-based coating solution was filtrated, through a Whatman filter paper No: 2, glycerol was added at 0.75 % (w/v), and stirred for more than 15 minutes. Two of the best concentrations, 60 and 90 mg mL−1 were prepared from freeze-dried IgY for S. putrefaciens and P. fluorescens respectively. After centrifugation (10000 ×g) for 30 min, the supernatant was collected and sterilized by filtrating, through a 0.22 µm micro-filter. Finally, IgY was added to chitosan-based coating solution. The final coating solution was homogenized under aseptic

Treated fillets were dried at 4 °C for 5 hours under aseptic conditions, and were placed in zip bags and kept in the refrigerator for 16 days (Ojagh, Rezaei, Razavi, and Hosseini 2010) (Table 1). Total fat was extracted, according to Bligh and Dyer on days 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 of refrigerated storage (Bligh and Dyer 1959). Antioxidant evaluation of lycopene solutions by DPPH method
DPPH solution in methanol (24 mg mL-1) was prepared and 2 mL of this solution were added to 50 μL of different concentrations of lycopene. After one-hour incubation at room temperature in the dark, absorbance at 517 nm was measured, using a spectrophotometer (Pharmacia LKB Novaspec, Sweden) (Aminzare, Aliakbarlu, and Tajik 2015). Scavenging capacity of lycopene was calculated as follows:
(Radical Scavenging Activity) RSA% = [(Ablank - ASample ) / Ablank]×100
Free fatty acids (FFA)

Fat was dissolved in 25 mL of the solvent (a mixture of chloroform and acetic acid). Then, 1 mL of saturated solution of potassium iodine was added, and kept in a dark environment for 10 minutes. After this time, 20 mL of distilled water and 1mL of starch solution (1.5%) were added.
The sample was titrated by 0.01 N Na2S2O3, until disappearance of the blue color. The amount of peroxide was calculated, using the following equation (Harold, Kirk, and Swayer 1981).
PV = (1000 (푉1-푉2) 푁) / V1
V1: volume of sodium thiosulfate solution, V2 volume of sodium thiosulfate, W: weight, N: normality of sodium thiosulfate solution
TBA Measurement
0.2 g of fat was mixed with 1 mL of BHT and 35 mL of C2HCl3O2. Then 100 mL of distilled water was added, 50 mL of distilled samples was collected to mix with 5 mL of TBA, and was placed for 1 hour in the water bath. The absorbance of the samples was measured at 532 nm, using a spectrophotometer (Pikul, Leszczynski, and Kummerow 1989).
TBA value = (Asample−Ablank)×50/200 PH

    Half of the measuring cylinders were filled with 60oc water, and the other half with 25oc water. Tests of the water were carried out with an iodine test and diet stix to detect any starch that had been broken down and passed through the tubing. The results from the tests show that there were experimental errors, and the experiment should be carried out again to…

    The Determining Food Dye Content Lab was less serious since it wasn’t examining the hazards of blue-1 food dye and yellow-5 food dye, but the process and information was useful and interesting. The food dyes were confirmed through the use of a spectrometer, and the creation of different concentrations for each food dye allowed for the recreation of the original Gatorade’s concentration. The wavelength and absorbance were collected to create a calibration curve using Beer’s law to determine the…

    Title: Alexandra Whitaker, Ms.Dayton, 12/23/16, 2.03 lab permeability Objective(s): The main purpose is to find out if plastic bags are permeable to starch and, or, iodine. Also, to find out wither potatoes are hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic by testing the different amounts of sucrose solutions Introduction: The necessary background information needed for this lab is the definition of osmosis, diffusion, active transports, passive transports, permeability, concentration, tonicity, and to now the scientific concepts of hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. Hypothesis: For part 1 my hypothesis is: That the starch will diffuse across the plastic bag and react with the iodine and will have a color change to the water to imply the reaction…

These three tests are going to examine different properties of macromolecules such as their bonds, and functional groups to identify the solution as one of the four macromolecules. The iodine test is used to determine the presence of polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen in the solution (Harisha, 2006).…

    An experiment was carried out to determine the percent of 100 percent cranberry juice in cranberry apple juice. This experiment is significant in everyday chemistry because it is the job of many chemists, in regulatory agencies such as the FDA, to quantitatively determine if the ingredients listed on the label of a substance are actually in that substance. Cranberry juice has particular qualities that are not found in other juices. The quality studied in this experiment was color. Cranberry apple juice is a mixture, but, because it is said to contain cranberry juice, it should also have some of the same unique identifying quality, color, that cranberry juice has.…

    In each tube, a certain amount of a starch solution and a potassium iodide solution was added. Then, each test tube was placed in three different baths, each with different temperatures: an ice water bath, a warm water bath, and a very warm water bath. After the solutions adjusted to the temperatures of the baths, they were taken out, and a certain amount of a potassium persulfate solution was added to each tube. After the potassium persulfate solution was added, the time it took for each reaction to occur was measured. For this experiment, the control variables were the amount of starch solution, the amount of potassium persulfate solution, the concentration of the substrate, and the absence of a…

    Introduction: Enzymes have a huge effect on the human body and other organisms. Enzymes are catalysts that are used to accelerate the reaction process by lowering the activation energy. For this experiment the catechol oxidase was extracted from potatoes. The enzyme is called catechol oxidase because the oxygen is reacting to catechol. Catechol oxidase causes the browning of the fruits and vegetables because the compound is toxic to the bacteria.…

Each acid-base titration used one solution to analyze another; it also involved the use of an indicator, which denoted the endpoint of the titration. The indicator used was phenolphthalein; it produced a pink hue when the titrations reached their endpoints – between pH 8 and pH 10.…
