Abstract
Investigations were carried out on Effect of Different Open Sun Drying Methods and
Packaging on the quality of dry salted Lizard fish (Saurida tumbil) during the year 2018-
19 at College of Fisheries, Junagadh Agricultural University, Veraval. Result of Six months
analysis indicate that drying and packaging method had more effect on quality and shelf
life of dry salted lizard fish. Rack dried (R1) with their treatments D1 gunny bag, D2 200
LDPE air packaging, D3 200 LDPE vacuum packaging (R1D1, R1D2, R1D3) and mat
dried (M1) with their treatments M1D1, M1D2, M1D3 salted dried fish value of moisture,
protein ash and total lipid as (R1) 18.62 ± 0.05 %, 56.35 ± 0.05 %, 19.44 ± 0.02 % , 5.48 ±
0.01%, (M1) exhibited 25.16 ± 0.02%, 53.13 ± 0.02%, 17.57 ± 0.05%, 5.02 ± 0.02% bio chemical such as TMA-N, TVB-N, FFA , PV, TBA were 3.2 ± 0.01%, 35.12 ± 0.05 % ,
1.5 ± 0.002%, 1.5 ±0.02%, 1.16 ± 0.01% and 7.58 mg %, 51.2 %, 38.22, 1.64 m.equ./kg
%, 1.5 %. Microbiological TPC, THC, TFC count were 3.36×105
, 0, 3.15×105
and
3.58×105
, 0, 3.35×105
log cfu/g, in R1 and M1 respectively. (R1D3) was good in all
treatment. Rack dried sample was superior to mat dried and vacuum packaging is best than
air packaging and gunny bag in terms of all parameter. Dry fish marketing is the only
employment opportunity for local fisher women and it is a good source of protein for people
in the rural areas.
