Nutritive evaluation of enclosed salted-solar dried Oreochromis niloticus
This study investigated the effect of enclosed solar drying on the nutritive quality of unsalted and salted Oreochromis niloticus. Sensory and proximate evaluations were carried out on the salted and unsalted fish after drying. Acceptability, appearance, colour, odour, taste and texture of salted and unsalted fish differed significantly (P< O.05). The moisture, protein lipid and ash contents differed significantly (P< O.05. All dried fish samples from the enclosed dryers showed high levels of acceptability and protein content. However, fish samples brined at 25% and dried using Solar Tent Dryer had the highest acceptability and protein content.
