Technological and nutritional quality of brook trout

Abstract

The research was carried out on a batch of 50 specimens of brook trout, the fish coming from a salmonid exploatation from Suceava County. The studied trout’s were sacrificed, measured and then samples (lateral muscles) were taken, which were subjected to determinations for chemical composition, content in collagen, histological studies and the rate of losses in different processes (frying and frying preceded by flouring). Following the analysis of the results we can conclude that the analyzed fish material has shown a good maintenance status, the trout fillets having a balanced chemical composition, with a very strong correlation between the meat content in amino acids and the protein content, as well as a good manufacturing and superior capitalization.
