ABSTRACT
The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of aqueous solutions of citric acid and ascorbic acid (0.5) on the nutritional quality, rancidity development and microbial quality in the muscle of Silver carp under frozen storage (-122C) for a period of 30 days. Muscle samples of fish were divided into two groups; group A (Gp.A) treated with 0.5 Ascorbic acid and Citric acid (A.A & C.A) and the other group B (Gp.B) without any treatment i.e control group. After 30 days of storage, both the samples showed a significant decreasing trend in protein, lipid, ash and moisture content. The total percental decrease in Gp.A and Gp.B was 20.11% and28.24% for protein, 18.53% and 56.47% for lipid, 4.22% and 8.17% for moisture and 11.56% and 34.4% for ash respectively at the end of storage period. However, the free fatty acid (FFA), extract release volume (ERV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) showed a significant increasing trend in both the groups but the increase was comparatively lesser in treated Group i.e. Gp.A than Gp.B. Similarly, the bacteriological studies revealed that Total plate count(TPC), Coliform count (CC) and Psychrophillic count (PC) in both the groups increased with increase in the period of frozen storage. However, these values were found to be within permissible limits in Gp. A up to the 30th day of storage and only up to 20th day of storage in untreated Gp. B.

INTRODUCTION
Fish is gaining an increased importance in the diets of people due to its role in providing significant amount of important dietary factors viz. nutritional and digestive proteins including high levels of essential amino acids (lysine, methionine etc.), lipid soluble vitamins (eg. A and D), microelements like I,Fe,Ca,Cu Zn,F etc and highly unsaturated fatty acids. Also, fish is a cheap source of animal protein with little or no religious rejection of it, which gives it advantage over pork or beef. However, fish is an extremely perishable commodity and its quality and freshness declines rapidly post mortem. Deterioration or spoilage of fish begins immediately upon catching or slaughtering, and the rate at which it continues depends directly upon storage and preservation methods after death. Different spoilage mechanisms reported to be involved in this quality loss include microbial development, endogenous enzyme activity, non enzymatic lipid oxidation and enzymatic browning (Ozogul etal, 2006, Auborg, 2008) thus, decreasing the shelf life of fish. Hence, there is a necessity for developing alternate preservation methods to extend the shelf life of fish. Different methods used to extend the shelf life include low temperature storage, icing, salting, brining, smoking, frying and use of anti-oxidants. The use of anti-oxidants is emerging as an effective methodology for controlling rancidity in oils and food (Frankel, 1998, Pazos et al 2005). Ascorbic acid and Citric acid remove oxygen and reduce the first step in chain reaction of lipid oxidation (Mielnik et al, 2002). Ascorbic acid and citric acid and their salts are widely known for their role as

chelators, acidulates in biological system and synergists of primary antioxidants, so that a profitable effect on fish oil and emulsions (Kelleher et al, 1992; Osborn-Barnes and Akoh, 2003), minced fish (Hwang and Regenstein, 1988; Stodolnik et al, 1992) and fish fillets (Badii and Howell, 2002; Auborg et al, 2004) have been observed. Hence, this work is aimed to study the effect of Ascorbic acid and Citric acid on extension of shelf life of Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix).

MATERIALS AND METHODS


Collection of fish samples Fresh samples of Hypophthalmichthys molitrix were purchased from local market of Jammu city. They were immediately brought to the lab in polythene bags along with crushed ice. The viscera of fish were removed and the fish was washed with large amount of water. Analytical procedures for biochemical and microbiological changes were done on 0, 10th, 20th and 30th day of storage. Fish Treatment The fish was cut in to pieces and these pieces were divided into two groups viz. Gp.A and Gp.B. Gp.A samples were dipped in the solution of 0.5% Ascorbic acid and Citric acid for 15 minutes, taken out and immediately wrapped in aluminum foil, kept in air tight plastic container and stored at122C (frozen storage) while the second group, Gp.B was

International Journal of Recent Scientific Research, Vol. 4, Issue, 7, pp. 1103 - 1108, July, 2013 considered as fresh (Control), freeze without pre treatment of 0.5% Ascorbic acid and Citric acid solution. Analyses The proximate composition (ash and moisture) of the fish samples were evaluated using the standard AOAC procedure (AOAC, 1995). The protein content was determined using the Lowry et al. (1951). Fat content was determined using Folch et al (1957). Thiobarbituric acid value of fish muscle during storage was determined using the method of Witte et al (1970). Free Fatty Acid (FFA) was determined by method of US Army laboratories (Natick) described by Koniecko (1979). Extract Release Volume (ERV) was determined as per the method of Strange et al. (1977). The pH of fish muscles was determined by the method of Keller et al. (1974) the microbiological profile was determined according to APHA method (1984). Data were expressed as mean SD and were analyzed by oneway ANOVA test using SPSS statistical programme. Statistical Analysis Means and standard errors were calculated for different parameters. The data analyses were performed using SPSS software (12.0 for Windows). Differences between treatments were analyzed using independent-measures one-way ANOVA. Post-hoc comparisons were conducted using Duncans test. The values were expressed as mean SE. values <0.05 were considered as significant and p values <0.001were considered as highly significant p. 5.73%, 11.40% and 20.11% on 10th, 20th and 30th day respectively. These results are in accordance with the studies of Omojowo et al (2005) in Cat fish (Clarius garipinus) and Arekemase et al (2012) in Tilapia and Mackerel who opined that the antioxidants have the ability to slow down the protein autolytic process in muscle which resulted in delayed muscle break down. Lipid content The lipid content of the untreated frozen samples of Gp. B shows a decrease from 2.27% on day 0 to 0.98% on day 30th. Total percental decrease was 22.46%, 43.61% and 56.47% on 10th, 20th and 30th day respectively during frozen storage. Similar observations were made earlier by Zoldos et al (2010) in Allaska Pollack, Siddique et al (2011) in Puntius sps. and Gandotra et al (2012) in Labeo rohita. They attributed this loss in lipid to the oxidation of lipids.

Protein content These results are favored by the findings of Arekemase et al During the present study the protein content of frozen muscle (2012), Ehsani and Jasour (2012) and Rahimabadi and Divband sample of untreated control Gp. B was 16.5% on day 0 and (2012) who proposed that highest fat content and low free fatty 11.84% on day 30th. Further, a significant (P0.05) percental acids in fish muscle samples treated with antioxidants after a decrease was found in total protein content i.e 9.03%, 15.27% prolonged storage may be due to the prevention of oxidation and and 28.24% on 10th, 20th and 30th day respectively. These hydrolysis of lipids in fish by anti-oxidants during frozen storage. findings are supported by the studies of Bekelvik et al (2005) Moisture content in sea bass (Dicentrarchus tabreri), Siddique et al (2011) in The total moisture content decreased with the increase in storage Puntius and Gandotra et al (2012) in Labeo rohita, who time in both Gp.

International Journal of Recent Scientific Research, Vol. 4, Issue, 7, pp. 1103 - 1108, July, 2013 The total percental increase in ERV was very low in Gp.A(treated) i.e. 48% as compared to the Gp.B i.e.69.23% throughout the storage period. These results are corresponding with the results of Rostamzad et al (2011) in Persian Sturgeon, Pourashouri et al (2011) in Wels Catfish and Taheri et al(2012) in Cobia, who attributed this less increase in ERV to the increased water holding capacity in anti-oxidant (ascorbic acid and citric acid) treated samples. As water holding capacity in meat tissue is strongly related to myofibril protein structure, therefore, this less increase in ERV in present studies may be due to the effect of antioxidants in delaying the protein denaturation.

These results get support by the findings of Le Blanc and Le Blanc (1992), Bekelvik et al (2005) in Sea Bass and Emire et al (2009) in Nile Tilapia during frozen storage. They attributed this moisture loss to the condensation of water during chilling.

Ash content Both Gp. A and Gp. B showed a decrease in ash content during the frozen storage conditions. The total percental decrease was 3.36% and 6.4% on 10th day, 7.56% and 11.2% on 20th day and 11.76% and 34.4% in Gp. A and Gp. B respectively. Similar results were obtained by Bekelvik et al (2005) in Sea Bass and Emire et al (2009) in Nile tilapia and Okeyo et al (2009) in frozen Nile Perch. This decrease in ash may be attributed to the drip loss, resulting in loss of bulk and trace elements.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
Extract Release Volume (ERV) The values for extract release volume in both Gp. A and Gp. B showed a progressive increase from 0th to 30th day. In Gp. B, the values were 260.4 ml on 0 day and 310.03 ml, 37.30.05 ml and 44.450.02 ml on 10th, 20th and 30th day respectively. However, in Gp. A, the initial value was 250.03 and after 30 days, it increased upto 370.04.

FFA was determined to investigate deterioration of fats due to their hydrolysis. Results for the untreated muscle samples of Gp. B depicted an increase in FFA under frozen storage. FFA values on day 0, 10th, 20th and 30th day were 0.54%, 4.82%, 9.02% and 14.55% respectively. Further, a gradual increase in FFA formation was observed in treated Gp. A samples, as shown in Table 4. But the increase in FFA was low in Gp. A samples as compared to Gp.B samples.

International Journal of Recent Scientific Research, Vol. 4, Issue, 7, pp. 1103 - 1108, July, 2013 Similar increasing trend in FFA was found by Ozogul et al (2011) cfu/g on day 30th, thus crossing the permissible limit of 6 log in Common sole (Solea solea) and Jezek and Buchtova (2012) in cfu/g (ICMSF, 1986) on 20th day of storage. However, in Gp.A freeze thawed fillets of Common carp and Silver carp. Aubourg et (treated samples), the values were found to be within al (2004), Pourashouri et al (2011) in Wels catfish (Silurus permissible limits even after final day i.e. 30th day of frozen glanis), Rostamzad et al(2011) in Persian sturgeon, Taheri et al storage. Similar results were obtained by Sallam (2007) in (2011) and Pieretti et al (2012) in Rainbow trout. They associated refrigerated sliced salmon treated with anti-oxidants (Sodium this increase in FFA to the hydrolysis of fat and oil present in fish acetate, sodium lactate and sodium citrate), Yasin and Aboumuscle.

This slow increase in FFA formation in Gp. A was due to the fact that Ascorbic and Citric acid act as oxygen scavengers and metal chelators, thus causing delay in lipid oxidation. (Rostamzad, 2011)

Thiobarbituric acid TBA The TBA value is an index of lipid oxidation measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) content and widely used for assessment of degree of lipid oxidation. MDA is formed through hydroperoxides, which are the initial reaction product of polyunsaturated fatty acids with oxygen.(Sallam,2007). Persuals of table 3 and 4 show an increase in TBA (mg malonaldehyde/ kg) values in both Gp.A and Gp.B samples with increase in storage period. However, the increase was lower in Gp.A (Treated) samples when compared to Gp. B (Control) samples. Similar results were found by Rostamzad et al(2011) in Persian sturgeon, Taheri et al(2012) in cobia (Rechycentron canadum), Zakipour and Dirband et al(2012) in Silver carp. They suggested that lower TBA values in treated samples was due to the positive effect of anti-oxidants in delaying lipid oxidation

Taleb (2007) in Mullet fish fillets treated with Marjoram and Thyme, Pezeschk et al (2012) in live and gutted fish treated with Shallot extract and Rakshit and Ramalingam (2013) in meat and fish treated with natural preservatives. A considerable increase was observed in psychrophillic count of both the samples. In Gp. A and Gp. B, the values rose from 2.10.05 log cfu /g and 2.030.2 log cfu /g on day 0 to 3.560.4 log cfu /g and 7.960.03 log cfu/g on 30th day of storage, thus Gp.B crossing the permissible limit i.e.4.6 log cfu/g on 20th day of storage while the values were within the permissible limits in Gp. A at the end of storage. Likewise, Sallam (2007) reported the reduction in psychrotrophic population in refrigerated sliced salmon treated with antioxidants (sodium acetate, sodium lactate and sodium citrate). Similarly, Yasin and Abou-Taleb (2007) observed the lowest incremental pattern in Mullet fish fillets treated with antioxidants like Marjoram and Thyme. Pezeshak et al. (2012) also reported the inhibitory effect of shallot extract on the growth of psychrotrops.

Microbial Quality For the determination of freshness quality of fish before and after treatment, Total plate count (TPC), Coliform count (CC) and Psychrophillic count (PC) were analyzed during frozen storage of one month. The results presented in Table depicted that TPC in untreated muscle samples of Gp.B increased from an initial load of 2.150.2 log cfu/g on day 0 to 9.350.15log

The coliform count (CC) increase exponentially with increase in storage time both the samples. Gp. B (untreated) samples , the values increase from1.050.2 log cfu /g on day 0 to 5.990.05 log cfu /g on final day of storage as shown in table, thus crossing the permissible limit i.e. 2.69 log cfu /g after 20th day of storage. However the values in Gp.A (treated) samples were within the permissible limits at the end of storage.

Similar results were reported by Rakshit and Ramalingam (2013) in meat and fish treated with natural preservative. Such decrease in microbial count in treated muscle samples of Gp.A may be attributed to the ability of these organic acids to penetrate the cell of microorganisms by means of diffusion and then dissociating and acidifying the cell interior, thus interfering with cellular metabolism or decreasing the biological activity as a result pH changes of the cells environment.
