Salt concentration and Redclaw-water ratio (wlv) did not give significant affect on the distribution of amino acids in any body-part. At the comparison stage, amino acids, 5' mononucleotides, soluble sugars, and organic acids were chosen as the taste-active component quality indicators. PCA was also used to determine the similarities of Redclaw extract (EXT) with the selected commercial flavourings. EXT produced at 85OC for 30 min with 5.0% salt and Redclaw-water ratio of 1:2 (wlv) was used in this study. It had relatively lower taste-active components than the selected commercial flavourings.

| description |
Redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) is native to Australia and was
introduced to Malaysia in the past few years. This study on the Redclaw
crayfish flavour extract was carried out at three different stages with the
respective objectives: 1) screening stage; to determine a suitable extraction
condition, 2) flavour profile comparison with the commercial flavourings; to
find the similarities of flavour profile of Redclaw extract with the commercial
flavourings, and 3) identification of aromatic compounds; to determine the
aroma profile in Redclaw aqueous extract and cooked crayfish. At the
screening stage, different extraction conditions vis. simmering time (10 - 40
min) and temperature (65 - 95OC), Redclaw-water ratio (4 - 6), and salt
concentration (1 - 10%) was carried out for head, tail and claws. Total amino
acids (> 10 mgg-') and taste amino acids (glutamic acid, glycine and alanine)
(> 5 mgg-' of the total three amino acids) were chosen as the indicators of
the flavour quality. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to study
the pattern of amino acid distributions. It was found that extraction conditions
at salt concentration of less than 5.5%; water ratio of less than 5; simmering time and temperature of less than 30 min and 80°C, respectively produced
more taste amino acids (> 5 mgg-' in total) in all extracts. In general, longer
simmering time significantly (pc0.05) produced more bitter amino acids,
whereas shorter time ( ~ 3 0m in) resulted in higher distribution of sweet and
umami-precursor amino acids. Bitter amino acids increased as the
temperature increased above 90°C. Salt concentration and Redclaw-water
ratio (wlv) did not give significant affect on the distribution of amino acids in
any body-part.
At the comparison stage, amino acids, 5' mononucleotides, soluble
sugars, and organic acids were chosen as the taste-active component
quality indicators. PCA was also used to determine the similarities of
Redclaw extract (EXT) with the selected commercial flavourings. EXT
produced at 85OC for 30 min with 5.0% salt and Redclaw-water ratio of 1:2
(wlv) was used in this study. It had relatively lower taste-active components
than the selected commercial flavourings. PCA showed that EXT has similar
amino acid profiles to shrimp paste and fish sauce in particular that of
glutamic acid and was also similar to fish sauce in its 5' uridine
monophospate (UMP) and 5' cytidine monophospate (CMP) content.
Redclaw extract concentrate (RCE) produced has an earthy and cooked
cabbage-like, however, less fishy and seafood-like aroma than all
commercial flavourings.
Aroma identification of aqueous extract was carried out at pH 7.8, 6.4
and 4.6; while cooked Redclaw was maintained at its original pH to determine the effect of pH on aroma profile. At pH 7.8, 6.4 and 4.6, a total of
82, 44 and 46 aromatic compounds were identified in the extract,
respectively. However at pH 6.4, cooked Redclaw contained 73 positively
identified aromatic compounds and did not show similar aroma profile to
RCE extracted at the same pH condition. Major aromatic compounds were
hydrocarbons (61 - 82%), comprising of alkanes (8 - 19%), alkenes (0.1-
1.8%), cyclic hydrocarbons (0.3 - 1.5%) and others hydrocarbons (49 -
64%). Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was the dominant compound in all
extracts and cooked Redclaw studied. |
