Abstract

The demand for health-promoting foods has been increasing, leading to the utilization of locally nutrient-rich ingredients in food product development. However, understanding the quality and proximate composition of raw materials is crucial for effective product formulation. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and proximate composition of striped catfish floss (SCF), Thai river sprat fish powder (TRS-FP), and dried water meal (DWM) and study the potential of these raw materials for producing rice seasoning powder. The results showed that SCF contained 44.87% protein, 42.06% carbohydrates, 5.53% ash, 0.94% fat, and 0.44% fiber. TRS-FP had 76.13% protein, 9.84% carbohydrates, 5.31% fat, 2.90% ash, and 1.85% fiber. DWM comprised 64.73% carbohydrates, 25.58% protein, 1.37% ash, 0.92% fat, and 0.55% fiber. All three raw materials had low moisture content (range 3.97-6.86%) and water activity (0.257-0.354). When the raw materials were used for producing rice seasoning powder by using SCF (46.09%), TRS-FP (17.39%) and DWM (13.04%), it was found that rice seasoning powder contained 40.57% protein, 9.22% fat, 6.04% fiber, 11.34% ash, and 27.95% carbohydrates. It had antioxidant properties with a DPPH radical scavenging activity value of 60.41%, an ABTS radical scavenging activity value of 1001.04 µM TE/g and a FRAP value of 7.334 mM Fe2+ equivalents/g. The overall liking score was moderate liking level (7.10 points). Therefore, it can be concluded that the three raw materials are sources of protein and carbohydrate nutrients and have the potential to be produced as rice seasoning powder.
