To date it is well known that the quality of farmed trout is affected by diet composition, by feeding regime, by husbandry practices and by rearing conditions and environment. The trout processing industry and the large-scale retail trade, in consideration of the wide variability of trout quality and characteristics, have imposed, or will soon impose, quality criteria for the end product. Moreover, recent food scares and the malpractices of some food producers have increased public requests
for traceability. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the main chemical quality and the biometrical characteristics of rainbow trout produced in three different farms in Italy (two intensive farms, located one on mountain and one on plain, and an extensive farm in which fish fed only on naturally available nutrients) and to establish whether farmed trout
origins could be differentiated by these parameters. Trout farmed in the intensive mountain farm (IMF) showed the highest crude lipid content in the fillets and the fatty acids of their fillets were characterized by the highest percentage of MUFA. Trout farmed in the intensive plain farm (IPF) were characterized by low dressing percentage, and the lipid of their fillets
was rich in n-6 fatty acids. Trout stocked for the last year of their life in the extensive farm (EF) were leaner both in the carcass and in the fillets. The analysis of flavor volatile compounds showed some differences in the bouquet design, particularly differences in the amounts of n-3 and n-6 derivates volatile aldehydes and alcohols. All data significantly different
(P<0.05) were subjected to Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and 8 variables were chosen to create two discriminant equations generating a strong prediction model for classification of farmed trout respective to their origins.

The high cost and unpredictable availability of fish meal and fish oil (FO) forced feed mill companies to look for alternative ingredients for aquafeeds. In this study, the effects of alternative dietary lipid sources [FO as control, canola oil (CO), oleine oil (OO), poultry fat (PF) and pork lard (PL)] in trout feed on flavour volatile compounds occurring in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) fillet were evaluated after 70 days of feeding (rearing temperature 14.6°C). Total amounts of volatile compounds identified were higher for fillets of fish fed diets containing only FO as lipid sources. Total amount of alcohols and aldehydes of the fillets were linearly directly related to the percentage content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) n-3 of brown trout flesh. The use of alternative dietary lipid sources, modifying the fillet fatty acids composition, affect the total amount of volatile compounds and, changing the relative amount of each volatile compound, affect the flavour of the fish flesh.

In this study the effects of soybean and linseed oils on chemical and sensory characteristics of fillets were evaluated in the freshwater fish tench (Tinca tinca L.). Five experimental diets, differing only in the relative amount of soybean and linseed oil, were formulated and the experiment was conducted on 360 sub-adult tench for 12 weeks. The fatty acid composition of muscle reflected that of the diets and significant correlations were observed. Diets containing higher amounts of n − 6 fatty acids were responsible for an increased level of n − 6 fatty acids in the fish flesh. Consequently, an increase in the relative amount of n − 6-derived volatile aldehydes was also observed. These latter compounds are generally reported to contribute negatively to the general aroma of fish muscle and, consistently, the results of the sensory analysis showed a high value for the “off-flavour” attribute for fish fed the diet containing only n − 6-rich soybean oil.

The present study was conducted to characterize caviar obtained from farmed white sturgeons (Acipenser transmontanus) subjected to different dietary treatments. Twenty caviar samples from fish fed two experimental diets containing different dietary lipid sources have been analysed for chemical composition, fatty acids and flavour volatile compounds. Fatty acid make up of caviar was only minimally influenced by dietary fatty acid composition. Irrespective of dietary treatments, palmitic acid (16:0) and oleic acid (OA, 18:1 n-9) were the most abundant fatty acid followed by docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) and eicopentaenoic (EPA, 20:5 n-3).

Thirty-three volatile compounds were isolated using simultaneous distillation–extraction (SDE) and identified by GC–MS. The largest group of volatiles were represented by aldehydes with 20 compounds, representing the 60% of the total volatiles. n-Alkanals, 2-alkenals and 2,4-alkadienals are largely the main responsible for a wide range of flavours in caviar from farmed white surgeon

Intensively farmed, market-size Murray cod (~ 600 g), were purged (transferred into a clean water system and starved) and sampled at three day intervals for a total of 18 days (D0, D3, D6, D9, D12, D15 and D18). Purged fish lost from 6% (D3) to 14% (D18) body weight, and the weight loss was highly correlated to the number of days of purging/starvation. Condition factor and Hepatosomatic Index decreased significantly (P < 0.05) only after 18 days of purging compared to the control (D0). Fillet lipid content (%) did not vary during the trial. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA: 20:5 n−3) decreased and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA: 22:5 n−3) increased (P < 0.05) during the trial, while docosahexaenoic acid (DHA: 22:6 n−3) did not show any significant variation. Purging contributed positively to the improvement of the volatile flavour compound composition, with a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in total volatile aldehydes and an increase in total volatile hydrocarbons. Since no major differences were found between samples during the last stages of the purging process (D12, D15 and D 18), it is possible to conclude that, under these experimental conditions, 12 days is the minimum duration to obtain an improvement in the volatile compound profile of intensively farmed Murray cod whilst keeping body weight loss to a minimum.

In Melbourne, Australia, grass pollen allergens, especially from ryegrass, are a major cause of allergic hayfever and asthma. This review outlines recent developments in our understanding of how grass pollen allergens find their way into the atmosphere and how they are transported in particulate form. Much of this work has relied on antibody technology in immunological and immunocytochemical investigations. The localisation of allergens in situ has proved difficult due to their water-soluble character. Recently, allergens have been localised in developing ryegrass pollen by dryfixation, rapid-freeze and freeze-substitution techniques. This involved anthers being substituted in a mixture of aldehydes, organic solvents, and 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Incubation in dimethylsulfoxide prior to embedding in LR Gold resin provided good infiltration with freeze-substituted material. Immunogold-labelled sections show that the major allergens, Lol p 1 and Lol p 5, are synthesised in the pollen cytoplasm from the early bicellular stage, soon after the first starch granules are formed. From the early tricellular stage, Lol p 5 moves into the starch granules where it remains until maturity. Lol p 1 is localised in the cytoplasm of mature pollen grains. The incidence of airborne grass pollen, as measured in pollen traps, correlates with hayfever symptoms. Forecasting models which rely on rainfall and temperature data have been produced for the grass pollen (daily and seasonal) counts in Melbourne. Research over the past six years has shed light on the causes of grass-pollen-induced asthma. Micronic particles in the atmosphere may be starch granules originating from pollen grains osmotically ruptured by rainwater. Ultrastructural and immunological characterisation of micronic particles collected from outdoor air filters confirm the presence of airborne starch granules. These are loaded with grass pollen allergens, occur in the atmosphere especially after rainfall, and correlate significantly with instances of allergic asthma. Diesel particles might also play a role in the transmission of grass pollen allergens and thus become an extra asthma trigger. A variation in the mode of release of micronic particles occurs in other species, such as birch, where such particles are derived from burst birch pollen tubes. These particles are positive for Bet v 1 and are starch granules which are released into the atmosphere after light rain as a result of pollen germination on, e.g., leaves. After subsequent rupture of pollen tubes their contents are released when conditions become drier.

Photoredox catalysis with the use of a stable, reusable silica-bound chromophore was applied to the intramolecular cyclization of a series of 2-benzylidenehydrazinecarbothioamides to give 5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amines. The catalyst was readily prepared by carbodiimide-mediated coupling of commercially available amine-functionalized silica beads to a carboxylic acid functionalized ruthenium complex. The immobilized catalyst was readily removed from the reaction product by filtration and was used eight times without loss of catalytic activity. This simple, safe, and practical method is an attractive alternative to conventional procedures.
