Cinnamomum zeylanicum extracts reduce lipid oxidation in broadband anchovy (Anchoviella lepidentostole) minced fish

Abstract

Minced fish (MF) is an interesting material for development of novel fish products; however, the mechanical deboning process interferes with MF quality, by increasing the lipid oxidation. This study reports the effect of Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) hydro-ethanolic bark extracts as natural antioxidants on both washed and unwashed MF of broadband anchovy during six months of storage at -18 °C. Spray-dried cinnamon extract (DC) and spray-dried cinnamon extract using maltodextrin 10DE (DCM) as a carrier were evaluated in relation to antioxidant activity in vitro. DC and sodium erythobarte were added to both washed and unwashed MF at 0.25% (w:w), whilst DCM was added at 1.055% (w:w). The DC extract presented higher antioxidant activity in vitro compared to DCM extract. The addition of cinnamon extracts reduced the lipid oxidation in washed and unwashed MF compared with the controls. C. zeylanicum extracts can be used to prevent lipid oxidation in MF during the frozen storage and are alternatives for food industries that seek to meet the demand of consumers increasingly concerned with the consumption of healthy foods.

1 Introduction

Fish and fish products are known as a good source of high quality protein (Bolat et al., 2019Bolat, Y., Genç, I. Y., Tunca, Y., & Demirayak, M. (2019).

) and important micronutrients for health such as fatty acids (ω- 3), minerals, amino acids, and vitamins (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2018Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations – FAO. (2018). The state of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018/ Meeting the sustainable development goals. Rome: FAO.). However, due to the high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, those products are susceptible to spoil by lipid oxidation, causing the loss of nutritional value (Mathew & Abraham, 2006Mathew, S., & Abraham, T. E. (2006). Studies on the antioxidant activities of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) bark extracts, through various in vitro models. Food Chemistry, 94(4), 520-528. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2004.11.043.

) and their depreciation of quality and cost (Secci et al., 2016Secci, G., Borgogno, M., Lupi, P., Rossi, S., Paci, G., Mancini, S., Bonelli, A., & Parisi, G. (2016). Effect of mechanical separation process on lipid oxidation in European aquacultured sea bass, gilthead sea bream, and rainbow trout products.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodcont.201...
).

The production of minced fish is known as one of the industrial process of fish that most induces lipid oxidation, mainly in marine species (Secci et al., 2016Secci, G., Borgogno, M., Lupi, P., Rossi, S., Paci, G., Mancini, S., Bonelli, A., & Parisi, G. (2016). Effect of mechanical separation process on lipid oxidation in European aquacultured sea bass, gilthead sea bream, and rainbow trout products.

, 2017Secci, G., Borgogno, M., Mancini, S., Paci, G., & Parisi, G. (2017). Mechanical separation process for the value enhancement of Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), a discard fish. Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies, 39, 13-18. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ifset.2016.10.018.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ifset.2016.1...
). A washing step is usually performed on the minced fish, causing leaching of sarcoplasmic proteins, pigments, enzymes, blood, lipids, flavoring components and minerals (Neiva & Gonçalves, 2011Neiva, C. R. P., & Gonçalves, A. A. (2011). Carne mecanicamente Separada de Pescado e Surimi. In A. A. Gonçalves (Ed.), Tecnologia do pescado: ciência, tecnologia, inovação e legislação (pp. 197-208). São Paulo: Atheneu.). Thus, the washed mince usually becomes lighter, less flavored and less susceptible to lipid oxidation. Mechanical separation process is an alternative for the diversification of new fish products (Freitas et al., 2012Freitas, D. G. C., Resende, A. L. S. S., Furtado, A. A. L., Tashima, L., & Bechara, H. M. (2012). The sensory acceptability of a tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) mechanically separated meat-based spread.

) that could be used for broadband anchovy (Anchoviella lepidentostole), a small anadromous fish with high nutritional value and great economic importance for the south coast of São Paulo State, Brazil (Mendonça & Sobrinho, 2013Mendonça, J. T., & Sobrinho, R. P. (2013). Management of fishing of the Broadband Anchovy (Anchoviella lepidentostole) (Fowler, 1911), in south São Paulo State, Brazil.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1519-69842013...
).

Following the actual demands of consumers for healthier food with less additives, several plant extracts have been tested for their ability to inhibit lipid oxidation in fish and fish products (Fernandes et al., 2017Fernandes, M.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.20...
). Cinnamomum species are known as natural antioxidants due to the high content of phenolic compounds, such as proanthocyanidins (Lee & Balick, 2005Lee, R., & Balick, M. J. (2005). Sweet wood - Cinnamon and its importance as a spice and medicine. Explore (New York, N.Y.), 1(1), 61-64. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.explore.2004.10.011. PMid:16781503.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.explore.2004...
). Studies have proven that Cinnamomum zeylanicum have many beneficial effects including antioxidant (Ostroschi et al., 2018Ostroschi, L. C., Brito de Souza, V., Echalar-Barrientos, M. A., Tulini, F.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.disamonth.20...
).

The antioxidant activity of Ceylon cinnamon extracts has been studied mainly in vitro (Abeysekera et al., 2013Abeysekera, W. P. K. M., Premakumara, G. A. S., & Ratnasooriya, W. D. (2013).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2018...
). Few studies have focused on the potential antioxidant activities of cinnamon bark extracts in food (Jahangir et al., 2018Jahangir, M. A., Shehzad, A., Butt, M. S., & Bashir, S. (2018).

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.profoo.2016.02...
), however, studies of the effect of the application on fish and fish products (Anal et al., 2014Anal, A. K., Jaisanti, S., & Noomhorm, A. (2014).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13197-012-079...
) are even scarcer. Regardless of, one of the great obstacles to the application of the natural antioxidants is related to the instability of the structure of antioxidants compounds such as proanthocyanidins, due to the their susceptibility to oxidative reactions (Ostroschi et al., 2018Ostroschi, L. C., Brito de Souza, V., Echalar-Barrientos, M. A., Tulini, F. L., Comunian, T. A., Thomazini, M., Baliero, J. C. C., Roudaut, G., Genovese, M. I., & Favaro-Trindade, C. S. (2018).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2015.06....
). Researchers have proved that the microencapsulation technique (spray-drying) can protect the antioxidant compounds (Santiago-Adame et al., 2015Santiago-Adame, R., Medina-Torres, L., Gallegos-Infante, J.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2016...
). However, the effect of microencapsution of cinnamon bark extracts on stability of the antioxidants compouds has to be evaluated, as well as its performance in preventing the lipid oxidation in fish products with different susceptibilies to lipid oxidation. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activities of both free and microencapsulated Ceylon cinnamon bark extracts and their ability to slow up the lipid oxidation on washed and unwashed minced fish from broadband anchovy during the frozen storage (-18 °C) for six months.

2 Material and methods

This study was approved by the Ethical Committee on Animal Use (CEUA) of the Faculdade de Zootecnia e Engenharia de Alimentos, certificate number: 8355181217.

2.1 Fish obtainment and minced fish (MF) processing

Fresh broadband anchovies (20 kg) were obtained from artisanal fishermen in the cities of Iguape and Cananéia on the coast of São Paulo State – Brazil, and carried to the laboratory (a 6h trip) in thermally insulated boxes between layers of ice (-1 °C to 1 °C) at the same day of capture. The process for obtainment of minced fish was carried out the next day. The fish were beheaded, gutted and processed in an industrial fish deboning machine (250 kg/h of capacity, HighTech, model HT 250, Chapecó, Brazil), obtaining unwashed broadband anchovy MF (UWMF). Washed MF (WMF) was obtained according to Kirschnik & Macedo-Viegas (2009)Kirschnik, P. G., & Macedo-Viegas, E. M. (2009). Efeito da lavagem e da adição de aditivos sobre a estabilidade de carne mecanicamente separada de tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) durante estocagem a -18 oC. Food Science and Technology (Campinas), 29(1), 200-206. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-20612009000100031.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-20612009...
with some adaptations. The MF was washed with cooled water at 5 °C in the ratio 3:1 (water:MF), under constant agitation for 5 min. After 3 min of resting, the MF was recovered by filtration through nylon bags (mesh fabric). Antioxidants were applied in both WMF and UWMF as soon as the minces were obtained, and then the minces were packed in polyethylene bags and frozen at -18 °C.

2.2 Fish and minced fish characterization

2.2.1 Mince yield

The percent yield (EY) of unwashed mince was determined using the Equation 1:

E Y % = W e i g t h o f u n w a s h e d m i n c e g W e i g h t o f b e h e a d e d , e v i s c e r a t e d b r o a d b a n d a n c h o v y g × 100 (1)

2.2.2 Proximate composition

Moisture, protein and ash contents were determined in beheaded and eviscerated broadband anchovy (BEF), WMF, UWMF, and residue of minced fish (RMF) according AOAC methods (Association of Officiating Analytical Chemists, 2005Association of Officiating Analytical Chemists – AOAC. (2005). Official methods of analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (18th ed.). Washington, D.C: AOAC.). The determination of total lipids was performed by cold extraction, according to the methodology described by Bligh & Dyer (1959)Bligh, E. G., & Dyer, W. J. (1959). A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification. Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology, 37(8), 911-917. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/o59-099. PMid:13671378.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/o59-099...
.

2.2.3 Obtainment of cinnamon dried extracts

Ceylon cinnamon barks were imported from Chile and the extracts were obtained according to the methodology developed by Souza et al. (2018)Souza, V. B., Thomazini, M., Echalar Barrientos, M. A., Nalin, C. M., Ferro-Furtado, R., Genovese, M. I., & Favaro-Trindade, C. S. (2018).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2017...
, using aqueous ethanol solution (50% by mass) in the ratio of 1:7.5 (powdered cinnamon:solution). The mixture was submitted to heating at 60 °C for 30 min and stirring at 650 rpm. Following the mixture was filtered and centrifuged (Eppendorf Centrifuge 5702, São Paulo SP, Brazil) at 2500 rpm for 5 min at 25 °C. The liquid extract was atomized in spray dryer equipment (model MSD 1.0, Labmaq do Brasil Ltda, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil) at 130 °C, 13 mL/min of feed velocity (peristaltic pump, model Labmaq OS-1, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil), 1.2 mm nozzle and 40 L/min of compressed air flow to obtain the dried extract (DC). Microencapsulation of the cinnamon extract was carried out using maltodextrin 10 DE at 5% as a carrier. The liquid extract was added to the carrier maltodextrin under constant stirring until complete dissolution, then, atomized by spray-drying following the conditions described previously for the DC, obtaining the spray-dried cinnamon microencapsulated extract (DCM). The spray-dried cinnamon extracts were stored in a freezer at -18 °C protected from light until use.

2.3 Characterization of cinnamon dried extracts

2.3.1 Determination of antioxidant compounds of cinnamon dried extracts

2.3.1.1 Total phenolic content (TPC)

The determination of total phenolic content was based to the Folin-Ciocalteu method proposed by Singleton et al. (1999)Singleton, V. L., Orthofer, R., & Lamuela-Raventós, R. M. (1999). Analysis of total phenols and other oxidation substrates and antioxidants by means of folin-ciocalteu reagent. Methods in Enzymology, 299, 152-178. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0076-6879(99)99017-1.
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0076-6879(99)99...
. After reaction between extracts and Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, the absorbance was measured at 750 nm in 10S UV-VIS Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Genesys). TPC of cinnamon extracts were expressed as mg Gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g of the dried extracts.

2.3.1.2 Proanthocyanidins content

The determination of total content of proanthocyanidins in dried cinnamon extracts was based on the method of 4- dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMAC) (Payne et al., 2010Payne, M. J., Hurst, W. J., Stuart, D. A., Ou, B., Fan, E., Ji, H., & Kou, Y. (2010). Determination of total procyanidins in selected chocolate and confectionery products using DMAC. Journal of AOAC International, 93(1), 89-96. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jaoac/93.1.89. PMid:20334169.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jaoac/93.1.89...
). The results were expressed as mg procyanidin B2/g of the dried extracts.

2.3.2 Antioxidant capacity of cinnamon dried extracts

2.3.2.1 Scavenging activity of free radical (DPPH•)

The capacity of cinnamon dried extracts on sequestrating DPPH• radical (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) was evaluated according to the methodology proposed by Brand-Williams et al. (1995)Brand-Williams, W., Cuvelir, M. E., & Berset, C. (1995). Use of a free radical method to evaluate antioxidant activity. Food Science and Technology (Campinas), 28, 25-30. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0023-6438(95)80008-5.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0023-6438(95)...
. The antioxidant activity (AA) of the extracts was expressed as EC50 (concentration required to achieve 50% inhibition of DPPH•).

2.3.2.2 ABTS+ radical scavenging activity

The capacity of sequestering the ABTS radicals was determined according to the methodology described by Melo et al. (2015)Melo, P. S., Massarioli, A. P., Denny, C., dos Santos, L. F., Franchin, M., Pereira, G. E., Vieira, T. M., Rosalen, P. L., & de Alencar, S. M. (2015).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.201...
. Trolox standards or cinnamon dried extracts were added with ABTS solution. The reaction occurred at room temperature and the absorbance was read at 730 nm in a SpectraMax® M3 microplate reader (Molecular Devices LLC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The results were expressed as Trolox equivalents.

2.3.2.3 Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)

The determination of antioxidant capacity by the ORAC method was based on the methodology proposed by Abeysekera et al. (2013)Abeysekera, W. P. K. M., Premakumara, G. A. S., & Ratnasooriya, W. D. (2013). In Vitro antioxidant properties of leaf and bark extracts of Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume). Tropical Agricultural Research, 24(2), 128-138.. The results were expressed as Trolox equivalents.

2.3.2.4 Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)

The antioxidant activity by the FRAP method was determined according to the methodology proposed by Salvador et al. (2018)Salvador, I., Massarioli, A. P., Silva, A. P. S., Malaguetta, H., Melo, P. S., & Alencar, S. M. (2018). Can we conserve trans -resveratrol content and antioxidant activity during industrial production of chocolate? Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 99(1), 83-89. https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.9146.
https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.9146...
. The results were expressed as μmol Fe2+/g of the cinnamon dried extracts.

2.4 Application of cinnamon dried extracts in the MF

Eight (8) treatments of antioxidant application in UWMF and WMF were defined (Table 1). Sodium erythorbate (positive control) and DC were added to MF at the same concentration (0.25g/100g). The amount (g) of DCM to be added in the MF (1.055g/100g) was determined accordingly to the preliminary results obtained of the total phenolic contents of the DC and DCM, in order to guarantee the equivalence of antioxidant compounds in both extracts. Around 400 g of MF was used for each treatment, which were packed in aliquots of 50 g in polyethylene bags and stored in a freezer at -18 °C until the moment of analysis.

Table 1
Definition of treatments for the application of antioxidants in the washed and unwashed MF of broadband anchovy.

2.5 Evaluation of the MF stability

In order to evaluate the effect of cinnamon dried extracts on the reduction of the lipid oxidation in both WMF and UWMF, periodic analyzes were performed at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 days of storage at -18 °C.

2.5.1 Lipid oxidation

The 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were determined according to the methodology developed by Vyncke (1970)Vyncke, W. (1970). Direct determination of the thiobarbituric acid value in trichloracetic acid extracts of fish as a measure of oxidative rancidity. European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 27(12), 1084-1087. https://doi.org/10.1002/lipi.19700721218.
https://doi.org/10.1002/lipi.19700721218...
. Briefly, TBARS were extracted in trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (7.5%), and then added with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) 0.02 M. The reaction was performed at 98 ºC for 40 min. After incubation, the oxidation products were quantified in spectrophotometer (Bio Spectro, SP220, Curitiba, SP - Brazil) at 532 nm wavelength using a calibration curve of TEP (1,1,3,3-tetra-ethoxypropane) diluted in 7.5% (w/v) TCA. The results were expressed as mg malondialdehyde/kg of the sample.

2.5.2 Determination of total volatile nitrogenous bases (TVB-N)

TVB-N were determined according to the method described by Brasil (1999)Brasil, Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento, Secretaria de Defesa Agropecuária. (1999, Julho 27). Métodos Analíticos Físico químicos para Controle de Produtos Cárneos e seus Ingredientes – Sal e Salmoura (Instrução Normativa Nº 20, de 21 de Julho de 1999). Diário Oficial [da] República Federativa do Brasil, seção 1.. Briefly, deproteinized TVB-N extract was obtained using TCA (5%). Aliquots of 20 mL of extract was alkalized with magnesium oxide (MgO) and TVB-N was distilled under vapor flow in a nitrogen distiller (Marconi, MA 036, Piracicaba, SP- Brazil). Ammonium nitrogen was received in boric acid, with methyl red and bromocresol green indicator, up to 125 mL, and then quantified by titration with 0.01N HCl.

2.5.3 Instrumental color analysis

Hunter-Lab MiniScan XE colorimeter with D65 illuminant and 10º viewing angle was utilized for colorimetric measurement of both WMF and UWMF treatments during the storage. The L*, a*, and b* parameters of the CIELab system were evaluated. The equipment was adjusted to provide the mean and standard deviation of three readings. The color coordinates were used to obtain the color image in the EasyRGB color calculator (EasyRGB, 2016EasyRGB. (2016). Color calculator. Retrieved from http://easyrgb.com/index.php?X=CALC
http://easyrgb.com/index.php?X=CALC...
).

2.6 Statistical analysis

The MF was produced three times and each analysis was performed in triplicate. The statistical analysis of data was performed using the Statistical Analysis System – SAS 9.3 (SAS Institute, 2011SAS Institute. (2011). Base SAS® 9.3 Procedures Guide. Cary, NC: SAS Institute, Inc.). All the data was firstly analyzed for homoscedasticity by the Levene test. Averages from parameters of proximate composition were compared using the Tukey test (p < 0.05) when the variances were homogeneous and Kruskal Wallis (nonparametric Anova – p < 0.05) when differences in variances were significant. For the data obtained in the stability studies, the effect of treatment (T), storage time (S) and interaction T x S were evaluated. Normality of the studentized residues was verified using the Mixed procedure (PROC MIXED) and the Shapiro-Wilk test (PROC UNIVARIATE). Decomposition of the main effects term by using orthogonal polynomials was performed in order to evaluate the interactions. When interaction was not significant Tukey's pairwise comparisons were performed for treatments and storage time averages.

3 Results and discussion

3.1 Characterization of fish and minced fish

The UWMF yield was 68.7% in relation to the beheaded and eviscerated broadband anchovy (BEA). According Leira et al. (2019)Leira, M. H., Nascimento, A. F., Alves, F. R., Orfao, L., Lacerda, Y. G., Botelho, H. A., Reghim, L., & Lago, A. A. (2019). Characterization of different techniques for obtaining minced fish from tilapia waste. Food Science and Technology (Campinas), 39(Suppl 1), 63-67. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.37517.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.37517...
mechanical deboning process is traditionally used to obtain residual flesh from fish carcasses. Finne et al. (1980)Finne, G., Nickelson, I. I. R., Quimby, A., & Connally, N. (1980). Minced fish flesh from nontraditional gulf of Mexico finfish species: yield and composition. Journal of Food Science, 45(5), 1327-1329. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.1980.tb06547.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.19...
reported the yield of mechanical deboning process from fish carcasses around 20 to 31.3%. Differently, in this study, the mechanical deboning process was used to obtain the highest yield in flesh from a small fish species, which filleting would be unfeasible. Keay (2001)Keay, J. N., Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Torry Research Station. (2001). Torry Advisory Note No. 79. Retrieved from http://www.fao.org/3/x5950e/x5950e00.htm#Contents
http://www.fao.org/3/x5950e/x5950e00.htm...
reported that up to twice as much can be recovered by mechanical separation of flesh directly from headless gutted fish.

In the mechanical deboning process, minced fish with high nutritional value is obtained (Leira et al., 2019Leira, M. H., Nascimento, A. F., Alves, F. R., Orfao, L., Lacerda, Y. G., Botelho, H. A., Reghim, L., & Lago, A. A. (2019). Characterization of different techniques for obtaining minced fish from tilapia waste. Food Science and Technology (Campinas), 39(Suppl 1), 63-67. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.37517.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.37517...
). The proximate composition values of BEA and UWMF indicated that the deboning process only affected the ash content, promoting a significant reduction of this component in UWMF (Table 2).

Table 2
Proximate composition (%) of beheaded and eviscerated anchovy (BEA), unwashed minced fish (UWMF), washed minced fish (WMF) and minced fish residue (RMF) of broadband anchovy (Wet basis).

Comparison between UWMF and WMF revealed a reduction of protein, lipids, and ash contents and an increase of moisture, after the washing process. Similar results were reported by other authors for Nile tilapia (Kirschnik & Macedo-Viegas, 2009Kirschnik, P. G., & Macedo-Viegas, E. M. (2009). Efeito da lavagem e da adição de aditivos sobre a estabilidade de carne mecanicamente separada de tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) durante estocagem a -18 oC.

), African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) (Durães et al., 2012Durães, J. P., Oliveira, P. R. Fo., Balieiro, J. C. C., Del Corratore, C. R., & Viegas, E. M. M. (2012). The stability of frozen minced african catfish. Italian Journal of Food Science, 24, 61-70.) and catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) (Hoke et al., 2000Hoke, M. E., Jahncke, M. L., Silva, J. L., Hearnsberger, J. O., Chamul, R. S., & Suriyaphan, O. (2000). Stability of Washed Frozen Mince from Channel Catfish frames. Journal Od Food Science: Sensory and Nutritive Qualities of Food, 65(6), 1083-1086. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.2000.tb09422.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.20...
). The change in WMF composition can be justified by loss of components including sarcoplasmic proteins, pigments, enzymes, blood, lipids, flavoring compounds, and leaching of the minerals (Neiva & Gonçalves, 2011Neiva, C. R. P., & Gonçalves, A. A. (2011). Carne mecanicamente Separada de Pescado e Surimi. In A. A. Gonçalves (Ed.), Tecnologia do pescado: ciência, tecnologia, inovação e legislação (pp. 197-208). São Paulo: Atheneu.).

The residue of minced fish (RMF) was included for characterization to verify how moisture, protein, lipids and ash from the broadband anchovy would be rationed on the different materials obtained in the deboning process. RMF showed moisture and lipid contents similar to the BEA, and a lower amount of proteins. RMF presented the highest ash content, differing from the other samples and showing the positive effect of the deboning process in separating the fish flesh from the bones that contain higher amounts of minerals.

3.2 Cinnamon extract characterization

3.3 Antioxidant compounds and antioxidant capacity of cinnamon dried extracts

Cinnamon dried extract showed high values of proanthocyanidins and TPC (Table 3). Dudonné et al. (2009)Dudonné, S., Vitrac, X., Coutiere, P., & Woillez, M., & Merillon, J.-M. (2009). Comparative Study of Antioxidant Properties and Total Phenolic Content of 30 Plant Extracts of Industrial Interest Using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, SOD, and ORAC Assays. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 57(5), 1768-1774. https://doi.org/10.1021/jf803011r.
https://doi.org/10.1021/jf803011r...
found that the aqueous extract of Ceylon cinnamon was among the four extracts with the highest content of total phenolic compounds (309.23mg gallic acid/g) out of thirty different plants of industrial interest.

Table 3
Antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity of cinnamon extracts.

Significant differences were observed between the spray-dried cinnamon extracts for proanthocyanidins and total phenolic content, as well as for in vitro antioxidant activity measured by the methods of scavenging radicals DPPH•, EC50 and ABTS+, ORAC and FRAP (Table 3). The results showed that the microencapsulation of the cinnamon extracts using maltodextrin as carrier diluted in 4 times the contents of TPC and, consequently, reduced the antioxidant activity of the DCM. There is a positive correlation between the amount of TPC and the antioxidant capacity (Dudonné et al., 2009Dudonné, S., Vitrac, X., Coutiere, P., & Woillez, M., & Merillon, J.-M. (2009). Comparative Study of Antioxidant Properties and Total Phenolic Content of 30 Plant Extracts of Industrial Interest Using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, SOD, and ORAC Assays.

https://doi.org/10.1021/jf803011r...
). Similar results, showing proportional reduction of antioxidant activity, were reported by Santiago-Adame et al. (2015)Santiago-Adame, R., Medina-Torres, L., Gallegos-Infante, J. A., Calderas, F., González-Laredo, R. F., Rocha-Guzmán, N. E., Ochoa-Martínez, L. A., & Bernad-Bernad, M. J. (2015).

in spray drying-microencapsulation of C. zeylanicum extracts using maltodextrin 10 DE as a carrier agent.

The DC presented a lower EC50 (105.7 μg of DPPH/mL) compared to DCM. According to Ervina et al. (2016)Ervina, M., Nawu, Y. E., & Esar, S. Y. (2016). Comparison of in vitro antioxidant activity of infusion, extract and fractions of Indonesian Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii) bark. International Food Research Journal, 23(3), 1346-1350. the lower the value of EC50, the higher the antioxidant activity of the extract. Santiago-Adame et al. (2015)Santiago-Adame, R., Medina-Torres, L., Gallegos-Infante, J. A., Calderas, F., González-Laredo, R. F., Rocha-Guzmán, N. E., Ochoa-Martínez, L. A., & Bernad-Bernad, M. J. (2015).

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2015.06....
reported low antioxidant activity of the Ceylon cinnamon infusion extracts with EC50 values of 290 μg/mL for the free extract, and variations from 336 to 596 μg/mL for spray drying-microencapsulation of cinnamon infusions with maltodextrin. In the present study, organic solvent (ethanol 50% in water) was used to obtain the cinnamon extracts, which can explain their higher antioxidant activity, owing to more effective extraction of the antioxidant compounds.

3.4 Stability of the MF

3.4.1 Lipid oxidation

In general, it was observed that, regardless of the treatment, UWMF presented higher values of TBARS when compared to WMF (Figure 1). This result confirmed that the washing process led to higher stability of the MF related to the reduction in lipid contents (Table 2), as well as to the leaching of catalysts (blood, minerals) (Neiva & Gonçalves, 2011Neiva, C. R. P., & Gonçalves, A. A. (2011). Carne mecanicamente Separada de Pescado e Surimi. In A. A. Gonçalves (Ed.), Tecnologia do pescado: ciência, tecnologia, inovação e legislação (pp. 197-208). São Paulo: Atheneu.).

Figure 1
Lipid oxidation (TBARS, mg MDA/ kg of the sample) of unwashed minced fish (UWMF) (A) and washed minced fish (WMF) (B) stored for 6 months at –18 °C. Means within the same storage time fallowed for the same upper-case letters are not significantly different at p<0.05. Means within the same treatment fallowed for the same lower-case letters are not significantly different at p < 0.05. WA – without antioxidant (negative control); SE – sodium erythorbate (positive control); DC – spray-dried cinnamon extract; DCM – spray-dried cinnamon microencapsulated extract.

The parameters rancidity and TBARS assess the same sensory descriptor, the rancid flavor (Marques et al., 2020Marques, C., Lise, C. C., Lima, V. A., & Daltoé, M. L. M. (2020). Survival analysis and cut-off point to estimate the shelf life of refrigerated fish burgers. Food Science and Technology (Campinas), 40(1), 171-177. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.36918.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/fst.36918...
), which may ultimately affect the sensory acceptability and use of the MF. Ke et al. (1984)Ke, P. J., Cervantes, E., & Robles-Martinez, C. (1984). Determination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in fish tissue by an improved distillation–spectrophotometric method. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 35(11), 1248-1254. https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.2740351117.
https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.2740351117...
reported that fish products presenting TBARS values below 0.58 mg/kg are perceived as not rancid. According to this, only UWMF without antioxidant would not be recommended for product elaboration as it presented TBARS values above 0.58mg/kg from the first month of storage.

Both treatment and storage time significantly affected TBARS values in UWMF (p<0.001) and WMF (p<0.01), moreover, there was an interaction between treatment and storage time for UWMF (p<0.05). Regardless of the washing process, the negative controls (WA) presented higher average TBARS values, 0.93 and 0.30 mg MDA/kg MF, in UWMF and WMF respectively, when compared to the other treatments under study (Figure 1). This event indicates that the lipid oxidation occurred rapidly in WA, which represents clear evidence of the positive effect of the antioxidants in the reduction of the lipid oxidation of the MF.

Cinnamon extracts were effective in inhibiting the lipid oxidation in broadband anchovy mince. The inhibition was similar to that obtained with sodium erythorbate for both UWMF and WMF at all storage times (Figure 1). Thus, both cinnamon extracts could be used as natural antioxidants replacing sodium erythorbate for broadband anchovy mince. This is of high relevance taking into account that many natural antioxidants presenting good in vitro performance not always achieve the same results in food matrices owing to their complexity, as reported by Ferreira et al. (2016)Ferreira, L. F., Daniel, A. P., Piccolo, J., Klein, B., Ruviaro, A. R., & Emanuelli, T. (2016).

that detected high phenolic contents and good antioxidante activity in extracts of Cinnamomum varum barks.

3.4.2 Total volatile nitrogenous bases (TVB-N)

TVB-N content is a parameter usually measured in fresh fish as it is related to microbial quality. European Community (EC) Regulation No 1022/2008 (European Community, 2008European Community. (2008, October 17). Commission Regulation (EC) No 1022/2008 of 17 October 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 as regards the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) limits. Official Journal of the European Union, L277/18. Retrieved from http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2008/1022/oj
http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2008/1022/...
) states limits from 25 to 35mg TVB-N/100g for human consumption depending on the fish species. In this study, VBN-N was determined to assess the quality of the MF and to verify whether cinnamon extracts would have negative impacts on the overall quality of the MF during the frozen storage. UWMF had higher levels of TVB-N when compared to WMF (average values of 13.22 and 5.48mg TVB-N/100g, respectively) (Table 4), however, both values were below the limits recommended by EC. The lower value detected in WMF is related to the elimination of soluble proteins in water during the washing process. Kirschnik et al. (2013)Kirschnik, P. G., Trindade, M. A., Gomide, C. A., Moro, M. E. G., & Viegas, E. M. M. (2013). Estabilidade em armazenamento da carne de tilápia-do-nilo mecanicamente separada, lavada, adicionada de conservantes e congelada. Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 48(8), 935-942. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-204X2013000800018.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-204X2013...
also observed lower TVB-N values during frozen storage of unwashed and washed Nile tilapia MSM, varying from 4.25 to 6.77 mg N/100 g and 0.15 to 2.99 mg N/100g, respectively. Regardless of the washing process, the treatments had no effect on the TVB-N values, whilst storage time caused a significant (p<0.0001) increase of TVB-N (Table 4).

Table 4
Total volatile nitrogenous bases (mg N/100 g sample) of unwashed (UWMF) and washed minced fish (WMF) stored for 6 months at – 18 ºC.

There was no significant interaction between antioxidant treatment and storage for both UWMF and WMF. TVB-N can be produced in fish muscle by microbial and/or endogenous enzymatic activities (Huss, 1995Huss, H. H. (1995). Quality and quality changes in fresh fish. In Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations – FAO (Ed.), FAO fisheries technical paper (pp. 348). Rome: FAO. Retrieved from http://www.fao.org/3/V7180E/V7180E00.HTM#Contents
http://www.fao.org/3/V7180E/V7180E00.HTM...
). In this study, as the MFs were kept at -18oC, which impairs microbial activity, the increase of TVB-N indicated that some enzymatic activity still proceeded during the storage.

3.4.3 Colorimetric analysis

The washing process significantly decreased L* (lightness) from 56.52 to 54.49, a* (redness) from -1.84 to -2.50 and b* (yellowness) from 8.10 to 2.53 in MF. The decrease on color is due to the leaching of components during the washing process, mostly pigments and blood (Neiva & Gonçalves, 2011Neiva, C. R. P., & Gonçalves, A. A. (2011). Carne mecanicamente Separada de Pescado e Surimi. In A. A. Gonçalves (Ed.), Tecnologia do pescado: ciência, tecnologia, inovação e legislação (pp. 197-208). São Paulo: Atheneu.). Color changes may occur during frozen storage of fish products. Pigment oxidation usually occurs concomitantly with oxidation of lipids in meat products; thus, the addition of antioxidants may inhibits both of these phenomena (Yu et al., 2002Yu, L., Scanlin, L., Wilson, J., & Schmidt, G. (2002). Rosemary extracts as inhibitors of lipid oxidation and color change in cooked turkey products during refrigerated storage. Journal of Food Science, 67(2), 582-585. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.2002.tb10642.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2621.20...
). Evaluating the UWMF (Table 5), it was verified that L* was not affected by the antioxidant treatment, whilst there was a significant effect of storage. Higher L* values were detected at 2 and 5 months of storage with neither tendency of increase nor decrease of values along the storage. The antioxidant treatment presented an effect on both a* and b* values, in addition there was also an effect of storage time on b* values.

Table 5
Color (L*, a* and b*) parameter of unwashed and washed minced fish stored for 6 months at – 18 ºC

Antioxidant treatment had significant effect on L*, a* and b* values in WMF (Table 5). Storage time presented significant effect on L* values. Average L* value was higher for ES treatment fallowed by DC and DCM; WA presented the lowest L* value.

In both WMF and UWMF, a* and b* parameters presented the highest values in DC treatment fallowed by DCM. This result allows to state that the microencapsulation of the extract interferes with the color, reducing its intensity, by dilution with maltodextrin. However, the addition of dried cinnamon extracts increased both a* and b* parameters in comparison with samples without antioxidant or added with sodium erythorbate.

L*, a* and b* values can be combined to generate Chroma (C*) and Hue parameters, however, these color parameters did not raise different results in this study (data not shown). In contrast, the observation of Figure 2 that shows the colors obtained using the RBG calculator, may better translate the color sensation produced by each UWMF and WMF treatment. UWMF samples presented brownish tones that were enhanced by cinnamon extracts, mainly DC. Washing interfered with WMF color that became more grayish for treatments WA and SE, whilst the brownish tones remained mainly in DC treatment. UWMF samples presented more visible and unpredictable color changes during frozen storage, regardless of the treatment, while color of WMF samples were more stable.

). WA – without antioxidant (negative control); ES – sodium erythorbate (positive control); DC – spray-dried cinnamon extract; DCM – spray-dried cinnamon microencapsuled extract.

4 Conclusions

The cinnamon dried extracts present high antioxidant capacity in vitro. The microencapsulation of cinnamon extracts with maltodextrin dilutes the contents of total phenolic compounds, but do not interfere with their antioxidant capacity in broadband anchovy MF. Cinnamon dried extracts inhibit the formation of TBARs in washed and unwashed broadband anchovy minced fish stored at -18 °C for 6 months, thus they are effective in slow down an important phase of lipid oxidation. The effect of cinnamon extracts is similar to the sodium erythorbate for both UWMF and WMF, suggesting that cinnamon extracts could be used as natural antioxidants for fish products and offering an alternative for food industries that seek to meet the demand of consumers increasingly concerned with the consumption of healthy foods. Future studies should address the use of fish mince added with cinnamon extracts in fish products such as fish burgers and nuggets evaluating their sensory acceptability.
