Abstract

Salt-cured and sun-dried mackerel is an important fish product in Southeast Asia. This product as available in local markets has a very limited storage life since it has a number of defects,including: a) "reddening," browning, or other discoloration; b) mold attack; and c) development of rancidity and off flavor.A curing mixture comprising common salt, sodium benzoate, sodium acid phosphate, sodium bicarbonate,sodium hexameta-phosphate, and ascorbic acid was formulated for drycuring and sun-drying of mackerel. Fish thus cured and subsequently given a dip treat-incut in potassium sorbate solution prior to drying kept well for 6-7 months at room temperature.
