Abstract

Hydrocolloids synthesized by gallic acid (GA) and ferulic acid (FA) grafting onto chitosan (CS) were characterized, and their effects on PhIP formation in pan-fried golden pompano were investigated. Spectrograms including nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible confirmed that GA and FA were successfully grafted onto CS via covalent bonds, with grafting degree of 97.06 ± 2.56 mg GA/g and 93.56 ± 2.76 mg FA/g, respectively. The CS-g-GA and CS-g-FA exerted better solubility and antioxidant activities than CS. For the 8-min pan-fried golden pompano fillets, CS-g-GA and CS-g-FA (0.5 %, m/v) significantly reduced the PhIP formation by 61.71 % and 81.64 %, respectively. Chemical models revealed that CS-g-GA and CS-g-FA inhibited PhIP formation mainly by decreasing the phenylacetaldehyde contents from Maillard reaction and competing with creatinine to react with phenylacetaldehyde. Therefore, it was suggested that CS-g-phenolic acids emerge as novel coating for aquatic products during processing and inhibit heterocyclic amines generation.
