Inhibition of the Discoloration of Yellowtail Dark Muscle by Lignan

抄録

The inhibitory effect of (−)-, (+)-matairesinol and (−)-, (+)-secoisolariciresinol on the discoloration of dark muscle (chiai in Japanese) of two-year-old yellowtail (hamachi in Japanese) was evaluated by measuring the X and a^* values. (−)-Matairesinol was most effective for retaining the red color of dark muscle in this experiment.
