Description
Narendra Publishing House Textbook On Biochemical Techniques In Fish Analysis by Ganesan P
This book encompasses the expedient information regarding the biochemicaltechniques pertinent to fish processing. First chapter reviews the general principles ofseparation of micro and macro molecules and outlines of common techniques involvedin biochemical analysis. The second chapter deals with the centrifugation technique, istypically used to segregate various essential and non-essential components in the fishprocessing industry. It can also be utilized for separating continuous protein and lipidrecovery system, and also segregate fish oil and fish meal from process water. The thirdchapter explains various filtration techniques used in fish processing industry as a partof waste water treatment and also covers the application of hybrid membranetechnologies for treating brine concentrates. The fourth chapter provides a deeperinsight to the reader on spectroscopic technique. With the assistance of collectedspectral information the cooking quality of fish can be obtained using the spectroscopictechnique.The fifth chapter elaborates the working principles of electrophoretic techniques,and its classification in the separation of protein from a mixture based on size of proteinin an applied electric field. The sixth chapter deals with common chromatographictechniques and quantifies its usage in fish quality analysis. It also briefs about types ofchromatography and their working principle in the separation of a chemical mixture.The chapter seven and eight elucidates the theoretical concepts and theinstruments required for the gas chromatography techniques and high-performanceliquid chromatography techniques respectively. Moreover, the chapter eight discussesabout the quantitative and qualitative application of the high-performance liquidchromatography technique in the pharmaceutical, environmental, forensics, food andflavour and clinical fields.It is hoped that the reader gains the complete knowledge from the very basics of themodelling, execution and process of a quality analysis program in seafood processingoperations. The author believes that the book can also takes place as a desk referencefor the students and researchers of seafood processing operations. Each chapter isdeveloped in such a way that each unit is capable of solely makes the reader enrichedwith the particular concept related to the quality assurance discipline using biochemicaltechniques.
