Background: The quality and safety of fish products is determined by chemical, physical, and microbiological parameters, important for satisfying consumers’ requirements. Also, the freshness of fish is essential for evaluation of its quality. On the Bulgarian retail market, fish is commonly offered chilled, frozen, or processed. The purpose of this study was to determine some physicochemi...

Fish is highly susceptible to deterioration without any preservative or processing measures and requires proper handling preservation increase its shelf life. Smoked fish traditionally processed by through an open process of hot smoked. in Indonesia, especially Papua, still carried out with capital small business scale so that the use tools simple. The aim this research was study proximate comp...

The main objective of this study was to describe the proper technological process of hot smoking of common carp as well as to determine the yield of the final product and also proximate and fatty acid composition of hot-smoked common carp meat. The average yield of smoked common carp was 82.19% based on weight of eviscerated and descaled fish or 47% based on weight of live fish. The smoking pro...

The aim of the study was to assess the organoleptic differences of Clarias gariepinus smoked with two different energy sources, Anogeissus leiocarpus and Tamarindus indica with the help of a hedonic scale and to determine possible proximate composition difference between the smoked products. Smoking of the fishes was carried out for 4 hours using traditional smoking kiln, the chemical analysis ...

The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP at 60% N ; 35% CO and 5% O ) and 2 2 2 under-vacuum packaging (UV) and cold storage at 4±1°C for 8 weeks on the quality aspects of traditional and liquid flavorings smoked whole and gutted mullet (Mugil cephalus) were the main objectives of this work. Some quality aspects of smoked mullet involved chemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation...

The breakdown products of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), inosine monophosphate (IMP), inosine (Ino) and hypoxanthine (Hx) of some fish species and heated fish products were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and rapid paper strip method. The K value, calculated from ATP degradation products, the percent of the s...
