Abstract:
The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alginate coating without or with lycopene at levels of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 3% on the quality of rainbow trout stored under refrigerated conditions for 16 days. Samples coated with alginate with or without lycopene showed significantly lower free fatty acid (FFA) and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values compared to uncoated (control) filets, particularly after day 4. Moreover, significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the coated samples containing lycopene and samples not containing lycopene on the last day. In relation with pH, none of the treatments resulted in significant differences. In regard to oxidation parameters, the effect of alginate-lycopene coatings was only seen on day 16 of storage. In general, although alginate-lycopene coating had no significant effect on the reduction of thiobarbituric acid and peroxide values, it succeeded in decreasing the TVB-N and FFA values.

Sodium ions make up approximately 90% of extracellular cations, with a normal blood plasma concentration of 136–148 mEq/L. A decrease in blood volume and pressure triggers the release of renin from granular cells in the juxtaglomerular complex (JGC), primarily...
