Autenticazione d’origine, stima della Freshness quality e studio del profilo nutrizionale come elementi fondanti per la valorizzazione dell’alimento ittico

Questa tesi è dedicata alla qualità dell'alimento ittico in tre delle sue possibili accezioni. Dopo aver spiegato il complicato rapporto del consumatore con gli alimenti ittici e come l'Unione Europea abbia cercato di fare chiarezza al riguardo, gli argomenti di discussione saranno: Autenticazione d'origine La polpa di 160 esemplari di spigola (Dicentrachus labrax), suddivisi tra selvatici, allevati intensivamente e allevati estensivamente, provenienti dall'Italia e dall'estero per un totale di 18 fonti indagate, è stati analizzata individualmente per caratterizzarne la componente lipidica, isotopica e minerale e verificare le potenzialità di queste informazioni ai fini della autenticazione di origine in senso lato. Stima della Freshness Quality Numerosi lotti di seppia (Sepia officinalis), nasello (Merluccius merluccius) e triglia di fango (Mullus barbatus) sono stati sottoposti a due possibili modalità di stoccaggio sotto ghiaccio fondente, per indagare come, nell’arco della loro vita commerciale, ne evolvessero importanti connotati chimici (cataboliti dell’ATP e loro rapporti), fisici (proprietà dielettriche dei tessuti) e sensoriali (Quality Index Methods specie-specifici. Studio del profilo nutrizionale La componente lipidica di numerosi lotti di mazzancolla (Penaeus kerathurus), canocchia (Squilla mantis) e seppia (Sepia officinalis) è stata caratterizzata allo stato crudo e dopo cottura secondo tecniche “dedicate” per stabilire il contributo di queste matrici come fonte di acidi grassi polinsaturi della serie omega 3 e per pervenire alla determinazione dei loro coefficienti di ritenzione vera.

Fish quality assessment through the application of chemico-physical, sensory and microbiological analyses

The quality of fish products is indispensably linked to the freshness of the raw material modulated by appropriate manipulation and storage conditions, specially the storage temperature after catch. The purpose of the research presented in this thesis, which was largely conducted in the context of a research project funded by Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (MIPAAF), concerned the evaluation of the freshness of farmed and wild fish species, in relation to different storage conditions, under ice (0°C) or at refrigeration temperature (4°C). Several specimens of different species, bogue (Boops boops), red mullet (Mullus barbatus), sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), during storage, under the different temperature conditions adopted, have been examined. The assessed control parameters were physical (texture, through the use of a dynamometer; visual quality using a computer vision system (CVS)), chemical (through footprint metabolomics 1H-NMR) and sensory (Quality Index Method (QIM). Microbiological determinations were also carried out on the species of hake (Merluccius merluccius). In general obtained results confirmed that the temperature of manipulation/conservation is a key factor in maintaining fish freshness. NMR spectroscopy showed to be able to quantify and evaluate the kinetics for unselected compounds during fish degradation, even a posteriori. This can be suitable for the development of new parameters related to quality and freshness. The development of physical methods, particularly the image analysis performed by computer vision system (CVS), for the evaluation of fish degradation, is very promising. Among CVS parameters, skin colour, presence and distribution of gill mucus, and eye shape modification evidenced a high sensibility for the estimation of fish quality loss, as a function of the adopted storage conditions. Particularly the eye concavity index detected on fish eye showed a high positive correlation with total QIM score.

Finding a voice - Nollywood inspired filmmaking practices in Switzerland

Under the name Nollywood a unique video film industry has developed in Nigeria in the last few decades, which now forms one of the world’s biggest entertainment industries. With its focus on stories reflecting „the values, desires and fears” (Haynes 2007: 133) of African viewers and its particular way of production, Nollywood brings „lived practices and its representation together in ways that make the films deeply accessible and entirely familiar to their audience“ (Marston et al. 2007: 57). In doing so, Nollywood shows its spectators new postcolonial forms of performative self‐expression and becomes a point of reference for a wide range of people. However, Nollywood not only excites a large number of viewers inside and outside Nigeria, it also inspires some of them to become active themselves and make their own films. This effect of Nigerian filmmaking can be found in many parts of sub‐Saharan Africa as well as in African diasporas all over the world – including Switzerland (Mooser 2011: 63‐66). As a source of inspiration, Nollywood and its unconventional ways of filmmaking offer African migrants a benchmark that meets their wish to express themselves as minority group in a foreign country. As Appadurai (1996: 53), Ginsburg (2003: 78) and Marks (2000: 21) assume, filmmakers with a migratory background have a specific need to express themselves through media. As minority group members in their country of residence they not only wish to reflect upon their situation within the diaspora and illustrate their everyday struggles as foreigners, but to also express their own views and ideas in order to challenge dominant public opinion (Ginsburg 2003: 78). They attempt to “talk back to the structures of power” (2003: 78) they live in. In this process, their audio-visual works become a means of response and “an answering echo to a previous presentation or representation” (Mitchell 1994: 421). The American art historian Mitchell, therefore, suggests interpreting representation as “the relay mechanism in exchange of power, value, and publicity” (1994: 420). This desire of interacting with the local public has also been expressed during a film project of African, mainly Nigerian, first-generation migrants in Switzerland I am currently partnering in. Several cast and crew members have expressed feelings of being under-represented, even misrepresented, in the dominant Swiss media discourse. In order to create a form of exchange and give themselves a voice, they consequently produce a Nollywood inspired film and wish to present it to the society they live in. My partnership in this on‐going film production (which forms the foundation of my PhD field study) allows me to observe and experience this process. By employing qualitative media anthropological methods and in particular Performance Ethnography, I seek to find out more about the ways African migrants represent themselves as a community through audio‐visual media and the effect the transnational use of Nollywood has on their form of self‐representations as well as the ways they express themselves.
