Quality of cured fish from the Maharashtra coast

Chemical, bacteriological and organoleptic characteristics of sun dried/dry salted fish collected from five major centres of coastal Maharastra [sic] are reported. Wide variations are seen in the quality of the different samples. In dry salted products, moisture ranged from 16.17 to 46.58%; salt from 5.18 to 22.75%; acid insoluble ash from 1.0 to 6.8%. In sun dried samples moisture varied from 16.15 to 39.51% and acid insoluble ash from 0.42 to 2.82%. The sun dried samples, though no salt was used in the process, showed fairly good amount of salt.
