Description
Summary:Aiming to boost the catfish fillet quality, the consequences of their treatment with Lepidium sativum seeds mucilage (LSSM) and with LSSM-mediated selenium nanoparticles (LSSM-Se NPs) were investigated. The LSSM assessment for phenolic acids contents emphasized higher concentrations. Green-synthesized Se NPs were conjugated with LSSM to form LSSM-Se NPs and characterized; the NPs had spherical shapes, negatively charged with 15.47 nm mean diameters. Fish fillets were immersed in coating solutions for 2 min, drained, and stored for 25 days at 4°C. The fish groups (C: untreated samples, M: LSSM-treated, and G: LSSM-Se NPs treated) were assessed for their physicochemical, bacteriological, and sensorial attributes. On the 25th day, the samples’ pH values were 6.96, 6.6, and 6.3; TVB-N values were 38.8, 28.4, and 16.4 mg/100 g; TBARS values were 1.7, 0.97, and 0.68 malondialdehyde/kg; and overall acceptability scores were 3.9, 5.6, and 8.3, for C, M and G groups, respectively. At day 16, the psychrophilic bacterial count was 6.2, 4.0, and 3.6 log CFU/g for C, M, and G groups, respectively. The application of LSSM and LSSM-Se NPs is recommended to compose active coatings for quality boost and shelf-life extension of stored catfish fillet.
