Yellow Haddock_A097

Some frozen at sea haddock develops a yellow discolouration. This is a major problem for the UK fish industry; resolution of the problem would potentially protect and make available £145M worth of legally caught haddock to a total haddock market worth £288M in the UK alone. A series of trials were carried out to try to replicate the conditions causing yellowing to enable recommendations to be made to solve the problem. Although the trials failed to yellow the fish, in depth biochemical analyses were performed on potential mechanisms for the production of yellow colour in the muscle tissue. It has been clarified that most likely the enzyme phospholipase A2 (PLA) splits off a fatty acids from the PL phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), which consecutively reacts with muscle proteins forming yellow complexes.
