Abstract
The total fat content of the Farmed common carp studied was 13.2%, which is categorized as high fat fish. Considering the amount and type of fish fat, which is unsaturated and long-chain fats and are very vulnerable to the oxidation process, therefore, in order to maintain their quality, artificial or natural preservatives should be used and stored in cold conditions. In this article, common carp was filleted and immersed for 5 min in water extract extracted from mistletoe leaf (Viscum album L.) by percolation method as a natural antioxidant in proportions of 1, 2 and 4%. Then the extract was evaluated in terms of extraction efficiency, phenolic and flavonoid compounds and free radical inhibition (DPPH), and the quality of fillets stored in the refrigerator at time intervals of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 days was evaluated with the tests of peroxide values (PV), anisidine value (AV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), free fatty acids (FFA) and TOTEX amount. The results of extraction efficiency, total phenolic compounds (TPC), flavonoid compounds (TFC), and DPPH were 5.23%, 62.4 mgGA/g E, 34.71 mg QE/g E, and 78.2%, respectively. Also, the values of PV, TBA, FFA, AV, and TOTEX value in the 4% extract treatment were reported as the best treatment on the 16th day of the experiment, 3.42 (meq g O2/Kg Fat), 1.55 (MDA/Kg Fat), 0.85 (OA%), 4.67 and 11.51, respectively. According to these results, mistletoe aqueous extract with a concentration of 4% can be used to delay fat oxidation in farmed common carp.
