Effect of Different Heating Temperatures on Albumin Concentration and Antioxidant Activity of Rasbora argyrotaenia
Abstract
Rasbora argyrotaenia (wader) is a local freshwater fish rich in protein and bioactive compounds, including albumin and antioxidants. Heat treatment may induce protein denaturation and reduce the activity of these bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different heating temperatures on the albumin concentration and antioxidant activity of R. argyrotaenia. Samples were divided into three groups: fresh fish (control), heated at 70°C, and heated at 80°C. Albumin concentration was determined using UV–Vis spectrophotometry, whereas antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay based on IC50 and Antioxidant Activity Index (AAI) values. The highest albumin concentration was observed in the fresh fish (14.144 ± 0.096 g/L), followed by samples heated at 70°C (12.576 ± 0.079 g/L) and 80°C (12.048 ± 0.072 g/L). The IC50 values increased from 31.571 ppm in the fresh extract to 45.250 ppm and 57.650 ppm after heating at 70°C and 80°C, respectively, while the corresponding AAI values decreased from 3.16 to 2.21 and 1.73. According to the AAI classification, the fresh extract and the extract heated at 70°C exhibited very strong antioxidant activity, whereas the extract heated at 80°C showed strong antioxidant activity. Overall, increasing heating temperature reduced both albumin concentration and antioxidant activity. Heat treatment at 70°C better preserved the functional quality of R. argyrotaenia than heating at 80°C. These findings highlight the importance of temperature control during thermal processing to maintain the nutritional and functional properties of R. argyrotaenia.
