Biochemical changes and economical estimation of salted sand smelt fish (Atherina boyeri)
The current investigation was planned to investigate the biochemical changes and economical estimation of salted Sand smelt fish (Atherina boyeri). Dry salting levels; 10, 15, 20 and 25% were applied. Results showed that the raw whole fish composed 75.49% moisture, 13.02% crude protein, 1.83% lipid and 9.60% ash content. pH value and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values were 6.35 and 0.88 mg Malonaldhyde (MA)/ kg sample, respectively. Concerning the bacterial load; total plate count (TBC) and Hallophillic bacterial count (HBC) were 2.48 and 2.00 log10 cfu/g samples, respectively. All of these values changed as affected by salt concentration used and storage period. Sensory scores were higher in heavy salted products (20% and 25% salt) than light salted products (10% and 15% salt). Economically, fish salting is a simple technique can be created new working chances (small projects) for many people and also it can be reduced of fish protein gap.
