ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of banana leaf extract on the quality and shelf life of rainbow trout compared to plastic bags at freezing temperature for 40 days. For evaluating this propose, the antioxidant activity of banana leaf extract was assessed. In addition, the shelf life of fish filets was determined by measuring thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and pHof fish. The banana leaves extract showed the highest content of vitamin E (5.8 ± 0.61 mg /g) and carotenoids (12.8 ± 0.1 mg /g). The potential of Cu (II) reduction the extract was 1.76 ± 0.09. The magnitude of modification in TBA and pH of the packed fish with banana leaves were less than the control samples. The present study demonstrated that the use of banana leaf extract will retard lipid oxidation in fish. fillet during freezing storage that may due to its strong antioxidant properties.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do extrato de folhas de bananeira sobre a qualidade e vida de prateleira da truta arco-íris comparada a sacolas plásticas na temperatura de congelamento por 40 dias. Para avaliar essa proposta, foi determinada a atividade antioxidante do extrato de folhas de bananeira. Além disso, a vida de prateleira dos filés de peixe foi determinada medindo o ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBA) e o pH do peixe. O extrato de folhas de bananeira apresentou o maior teor de vitamina E (5,8 ± 0,61 mg/g) e carotenóides (12,8 ± 0,1 mg/g). O potencial de redução de Cu (II) no extrato foi de 1,76 ± 0,09. A magnitude da modificação no TBA e pH do peixe embalado com folhas de bananeira foi menor que as amostras controle. O presente estudo demonstrou que o uso de extrato de folhas de bananeira é capaz de retardar a oxidação lipídica no filé de peixe durante o armazenamento de congelamento, devido às suas fortes propriedades antioxidantes.

Cottonseed meal is widely used as one of the protein supplement in poultry diets. Its mechanism of toxic action on chicken embryo is poorly understood. In this study, direct effects and abnormalities of cottonseed on chicken embryo were studied. Oxidative stress, cholinergic stress, mineral analysis and microscopic lesions were analyzed in chicken embryo which injected cottonseed extraction in 0.1, 1 and 10 mg concentration (with free gossypol 0.25 ppm, 2.5 ppm and 25 ppm respectively) at day 4 of incubation. Higher group had 100 percent mortality. Serum of alive chicken embryo at day 20 of incubation were measured for FRAP (ferric reducing ability of serum), total SH groups assay, cholinesterase assay and potassium concentration. The results expressed as mean±SD show to increase oxidative stress, cholinergic stress but significant difference (p<0.05) wasn't observed between groups. The significant difference was observed in potassium concentration in serum. Some evidence of hematotoxicity such as hemorrhage and higher number of puntate reticulocytes were detected. It is concluded, hematoxicity and hyperkalemia are toxicity mechanisms that could initiate in low concentrations of cottonseed in chick embryo.
