Potential of melanin free ink as antioxidant and its application for preserving and predicting shelf life of salted-boiled milkfish

Antioxidant could be extracted and isolated from squid inks. Squid ink in the form of melanin free ink (MFI) could be act as an electron donor which can stabilise free radicals in lipid oxidation. Studies were carried out to assess the antioxidant activity of squid inks converted into MFI in different dilution and to optimise the extraction conditions for the application of MFI as an anti-oxidative agent on fish product. Three different...
