ABSTRACT: Four different catfish oil extraction processes were used to extract oil from catfish viscera: process
CF1 involved a mixture of ground catfish viscera and water, no heat treatment, and centrifugation; process CF2
involved ground catfish viscera (no added water), heat treatment, and centrifugation; process CF3 involved a mixture of ground catfish viscera and water, heat treatment, and centrifugation; process CF4 involved ground catfish
viscera, enzymatic hydrolysis, and centrifugation. Chemical and physical properties of the resulting of catfish oils
were evaluated. The CF4 process recovered significantly higher amounts of crude oil from catfish viscera than the
other 3 extraction methods. The CF4 oil contained a higher percent of free fatty acid and peroxide values than CF1,
CF2, and CF3 oils. Oleic acid in catfish oil was the predominant fatty acid accounting for about 50% of total fatty
acids. Weight loss of oils increased with increasing temperatures between 250 and 500 C. All the catfish oil samples melted around 32 C regardless of the extraction methods. The flow behavior index of all the oil samples was
less than 1, which indicated that the catfish oils exhibited non-Newtonian fluid behavior. The apparent viscosity at
5 and 0 C was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. The average magnitude of
activation energy for apparent viscosity of the oil was higher for CF2 than CF1, CF3, and CF4.

Introduction
iscera from Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is an abundant and underutilized by-product that can be used as a
unique lipid source. Channel catfish is the 4th-most popular fish
product consumed in the United States. The 4 major commercial
catfish producing states in the United States are Alabama, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and Mississippi. In 2005, these states produced over
272000 metric tons of catfish with a stable monthly production of
about 22700 tons (NASS 2006). The by-products of catfish processing consists of heads, frames, skin, and viscera, which often ends up
in landfills or rendering plants. The yield of catfish when processed
as whole fillets is around 45%, generating about 55% waste. The average weight of viscera is about 265 g, which is about 10% by weight
of a live whole catfish. Much of the oil in the catfish is found in the
viscera, which contains approximately 33% lipid (Sathivel 2001).
The viscera can be used for recovering of catfish oil that could be
converted into edible oil or biodiesel products.
Extracting oil from viscera may add value to catfish viscera,
which is currently a processing waste. For the last 2 decades, interest in dietary effects of marine omega-3 fatty acids has increased
because they play a major role in human health (Kronhout and
others 1985). Natural fish oils have been claimed to help maintain heart and vascular health in humans (Haglund and others
1998). Producing and purifying catfish oil from catfish viscera for
the growing fish oil market can benefit the catfish industry. Small
fish oil processors and entrepreneurs are interested in establishing
small scale, cost effective oil extraction, clarification, and stabiliza-
tion methods for catfish oil destined for human consumption. Fish
oil can be extracted using a number of methods including rendering, enzymatic hydrolysis, chemical extraction, mechanical pressing, and use of centrifugal force. However, information related to
quality of fish oil prepared from the different extraction methods is
not readily available. The unpurified catfish oil contains free fatty
acids, primary oxidation products, minerals, pigments, moisture,
phospholipids, and insoluble impurities that reduce the oil quality. The amount of these impurities present in the oil may depend
on the fish oil extraction methods. The longer these components
remain in the oil, the greater their negative effects on oil quality.
Finding a suitable method to extract oil from catfish viscera may
reduce some of the impurities in the oil and thus may cut down
the multiple fish oil purification steps to 1 or 2 steps. The amount
of impurities present in the oil influences the rheological and thermal properties of fish oil (Sathivel and others 2008a, 2008b). Knowledge of thermal, rheological, and oxidation properties of the catfish
oil is essential for the design of purifying processes, the analysis of
production cost, and the final quality evaluation. The objective of
study was to evaluate the effects of different extraction processes
on chemical and physical properties of catfish oils.

Thermal stability of the unpurified catfish oil was analyzed using the Thermogravimetric Analyzer (Model Q50, TA Instruments,
New Castle, Del., U.S.A.). Approximately 1 to 1.2 mg of the oil sample were added to an aluminum pan, the pan was placed in the
furnace, and the exact sample weight was determined. The sample
was heated to 700 C under air atmosphere at an increasing rate of
5 C/min. Sample weight differences were automatically recorded
every 0.5 s. Collected data were analyzed and plotted using the TA
Universal Analyzer Software (TA Instruments). The graph was normalized based on the sample weight basis.
The differential scanning calorimetric experiments were conducted using a differential scanning calorimetery (Model DSC 2920,
TA Instruments). Approximately 0.5 to 1 mg of the unpurified catfish oil sample was placed in an aluminum sample vessel. An empty
aluminum vessel was placed on the reference platform. To determine the phase transition of the unpurified catfish oil sample, a
linear heating rate of 5 C/min over a temperature range of 75 to
100 C was used. The thermogram peak was used to provide an estimate of enthalpy (H). The thermogram peak points of the repProximate composition of catfish viscera

following 4 different processing methods: (1) ground catfish viscera was added with distilled water (water: ground viscera, 1:1 v/w)
and homogenized in a Waring blender (Waring Products Div., New
Hartford, Conn., U.S.A.) for 2 min. The homogenized mixture was
centrifuged at 7520 g for 30 min at 23 C and catfish oil separated;
(2) ground catfish viscera (no added water) was heated at 75 C
for 30 min, centrifuged at 7520 g for 30 min at 23 C and the

homogenized mixture was heated at 75 C for 30 min, centrifuged at
7520 g for 30 min at 23 C and the catfish oil removed; (4) ground
catfish viscera was enzymatically hydrolyzed (no added water),
centrifuged, and the visceral oil separated. Hydrolysis conditions
were similar to those documented by Hoyle and Merritt (1994).
The alcalase enzyme with the activity of 2.4 AU/g (Anson units per
gram) (Novo Nordisk, Franklinton, N.C., U.S.A.) was added to the
ground catfish viscera at 0.5% w/w. The mixture was stirred for
75 min at 50 C and then the temperature was increased to above
85 C for 15 min to inactivate the enzyme. The hydrolysate was centrifuged at 7520 g for 30 min and the catfish oil removed. The resulting unrefined catfish oils were collected and stored at 70 C
until analyzed. The oil extracted from methods 1, 2, 3, and 4 was
referred to as CF1, CF2, CF3, and CF4, respectively, throughout this
study.

This reaction is usually identified by an increase in the initial sample mass (Hassel 1976). In this study, no weight gain was observed
in the TG curves for all catfish oils that were analyzed under air
atmosphere, indicating that thermal decomposition of catfish oils
was not related to oxygen absorption. The weight loss between 250
and 550 C was 88.8%, 87.3%, 86.4%, and 84.6% for CF3, CF1, CF4,
and CF2, respectively. Sathivel and others (2003a) reported that the
weight loss of fish oils due to thermal decomposition was higher in
refined oils than crude or unrefined oils. The higher thermal decomposition implies higher quality of oil. Unrefined oils contain
impurities such as phospholipids, complexed metals and minerals,
free fatty acids, and peroxides and their breakdown products, that
are highly interactive with the oil (Wiedermann 1981). This study
demonstrated the extraction process affected the amount of impurities and mineral contents in the oil samples. The presence of
impurities reduces effectiveness of heat transfer to unrefined oils,
and, therefore, resulting in less energy available to evaporate the
volatiles (Wesolowski and Erecinska 1998). Based on this study, the
TG analysis can be used to determine the quality of fish oils.
Figure 2 shows typical melting curves of CF1, CF2, CF3, and CF4
catfish oils. The melting points of catfish oil ranged from 32.7 to
9.9 C for CF1, 32.7 to 11.4 C for CF2, 33 to 11.6 C for CF3,
and 33.4 to 12 C for CF4. This indicated that extraction procedures affected melting points of crude oils from catfish viscera. Five
endothermic peaks, considered as melting points, were observed
in the DSC thermogram for all unpurified catfish oils (Figure 2).
The melting point of the unpurified catfish oil was relatively narrow
compared to the reported melting point range of 69.6 to 0.36 C,
64.7 to 20.8 C, and 64.5 to 14.86 C for red salmon and
pink salmon oils (Sathivel 2005), and pollock oil (Sathivel and
