ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of fish paste supplemented with Haematococcus powder at 0–5% (w/w, based on wheat flour). With increasing addition, pH and moisture content decreased gradually. Lightness (L*) declined markedly while redness (a*) rose sharply, reflecting pigment dispersion throughout the matrix, yet folding properties remained at AA grade across all treatments. Hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and springiness decreased, whereas adhesiveness and cohesiveness increased. DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol content increased proportionally with powder concentration, indicating enhanced antioxidant functionality. These findings suggest that Haematococcus powder is a promising natural functional ingredient for developing antioxidant-enriched fish paste with visual differentiation, though further optimization of addition level and sensory acceptability is needed.
