Popis: Concentrations of ammonia, monomethylamine (MMA), dimethylamine (DMA), trimethylamine (TMA), and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) in raw and processed fish by-products were determined in cold-water marine fish using a capillary electrophoresis (CE) method. The CE method provides a fast and sensitive procedure to simultaneously quantify volatile amines and TMAO in raw and processed fish samples. Total volatile bases nitrogen (TVB-N) values were calculated from the concentrations of the respective individual volatile amines detected within the samples. TVB-N calculated concentrations ranged from a low of 12 ± 3.7 mg N/100g (n = 3) to a high value of 119.1 ± 27.2 mg N/100g (n = 3) wet weight for the raw fish by-products and from 60 ± 2.4 mg N/100g (n = 3) to 300.9 ± 40.5 mg N/100g (n = 3) dry weight for the processed fish by-products. No MMA was detected in any of the samples tested. Raw viscera samples contained increased concentrations of DMA and TMA relative to the other samples tested. High levels of...
