Abstract

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of autolysis inhibition and to improve gel textural properties of clown featherback (Chitala ornata) and grey featherback (Notopterus notopterus) by using  egg white powder. The highest autolysis was observed at 55 and 70 °C for clown featherback and grey featherback, respectively. The optimum pH for autolysis of both clown featherback and grey featherback was found at 4.0 and 7.0. Pepstatin A and soybean trypsin inhibitor showed the highest inhibition toward autolysis at pH 4 and 7, respectively (p<0.05), suggesting that aspartic proteinases and serine proteinases were mainly responsible for degradation in both fish species. Based on TCA-soluble oligopeptide assay, addition of 3% egg white powder showed 74% and 72% inhibition found in gel of clown featherback and grey featherback, respectively with the concomitant increase in band intensity of myosin heavy chain retained. Moreover, addition of 2% egg white powder resulted in an increase of breaking force and deformation of clown featherback and grey featherback gels. Therefore, autolysis of clown featherback and grey featherback can be retarded by the addition of egg white powder leading to an increase of gel textural properties of both fish species. Keywords :  autolysis, egg white powder, proteinases, clown featherback, grey featherback
