Abstract

On the Indian coast the oil sardine deteriorates rapidly (in 6-8 h) at 28-30 degree C, but the time gap between catching and processing is 12 h or longer and extracted oil is then dark in colour, has an unpleasant odour and high free fatty acid content. More solids are leached out in pressing than from fresh fish and the quantity and quality of fish meal is also poor. Various dip treatments (fish: solution ratio 2:1) were tried within 2 h of catching the fish. Aureomycin hydrochloride (100-250 ppm), sodium benzoate (1-2%), sodium hypochlorite (2.4%) and hexamine (2%) each reduced fish odour after 24 h at 27-30 degree C but the tissue became too soft, which reduced the yield of extraced oil. An ammonia dip (0.5 N solution/10 min), followed by airtight storage, checked bacterial spoilage but muscle contents were completely digested and yield of pressed oil was very low. Continuous steeping in 15% NaCl was ineffective but 20% and saturated brines gave good suppression of bacterial and enzyme activity for approximate equal to20 h. Good preservation was obtained with 1.2-1.6% formalin (40-68 h) or 1.5% sodium nitrite (32-48 h) but muscle becomes tough with the former and soft with the latter. A combination recommended is saturated NaCl with 0.4% formalin, which gives a keeping quality of 40-60 h, good yellow colour of extracted oil with a yield only 6% less than fresh fish.
