This study was conducted to promote the utilization of fish paste containing skate (Raja kenojei) powder. The tested concentrations of skate (Raja kenojei) powder were 0, 1, 3, and 5%. The pH levels of the samples ranged from 6.88 to 7.00, whereas moisture contents ranged from 79.51 to 80.35%. Increasing the amount of skate (Raja kenojei) powder in the fish paste tended to decrease lightness (L) in Hunter color value while increasing redness (a) and yellowness (b). All test samples with 3 mm thickness had good flexibility and did not break even after folding four times. Overall, according to the results of our sensory evaluation, fish paste prepared with 3% skate (Raja kenojei) powder was preferred over other fish pastes. Therefore, these results suggest that skate (Raja kenojei) powder can be applied to fish paste for the purpose of high quality and functionality.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of tofu prepared with the addition of skate (Raja kenojei) powder. The moisture, crude ash, carbohydrate, crude protein, and crude lipid contents of the used skate powder were 5.34%, 14.15%, 1.90%, 76.60%, and 2.08%, respectivly. The yield rate of the tofu did not differ significantly with the level of added skate powder; however, significant reductions in pH and a significant increase in acidity were observed. The L and b values of the tofu decreased with increases in the amount of added skate powder in the formulation, whereas the a values increased directly with the amount of added skate powder. Furthermore, hardness was increased significantly as the level of skate powder increased. In terms of overall acceptability, the preferred tofu samples were the control and the group to which, 1.0% skate powder was added.

Physicochemical and functional properties of collage from skate skin (Raja Kenojei) are examined depending on pH and NaCl concentration in the medium. The solubility decreased as NaCl concentration increased but, turbidity increased as concentration of collagen increased. Oil-holding capacity and water-holding capacity were similar to other fish skin collagens. Emulsion activity, creaming stability, and viscosity were lowest at where pH levels were isoelectric point regions of collagens. However, the higher pH values at 7.0-9.0 caused increasing foam expansion, foam viscosity, and gel strength. These results indicated that collagen from skate skin could be used as a functional ingredient for food and industrial applications.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared using skate powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%) as a substitute for flour. The pH of the cookie dough decreased significantly in response to the addition of all levels of skate powder. However, there were no significant differences in the dough values among the test groups. Furthermore, when the spread factor values were compared among groups, they were found to be inversely proportional to the skate powder concentration. In addition, the Hunter's color L, a and b values decreased significantly as the level of skate powder increased. Moreover, the addition of 1-7% skate powder resulted in increased hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness when compared to the control. Finally, the results of the sensory evaluation and acceptance test showed that the cookies containing 3% skate powder had the highest scores.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles made of wheat flour supplemented with different concentrations of skate powder. Cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, gelatinization temperature and viscosity were measured, after which sensory evaluation was performed with prepared noodles. Water binding capacity, solubility and swelling power of the composite skate powder and wheat flours were higher than those of pure wheat flour. Gelatinization temperature of the composite skate powder and wheat flours increased, while initial, interim, and maximum-viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, decreased, with increasing skate powder content. In relation to color values, increasing skate flour content led to decrease in L and b values and increase in a value. For the textural characteristics, the addition of skate powder increased hardness, springiness, chewiness and adhesiveness. Overall, noodles made with 3% skate powder were preferred compared to other samples.
