Fish Preservation

This document provides information about different methods for preserving fish, including general preservation procedures, reducing free water through drying and salting, and smoking. It discusses: 1) General preservation procedures including preparation, coating, frying, freezing, and storage. 2) Reducing free water through drying, which involves removing water from fish through evaporation using heat, and salting, where salt is rubbed or brined into fish to reduce water activity. 3) Specific drying, salting, and smoking methods and processes are described, along with factors that influence each method and potential problems to avoid.

General Preservation Procedure A. Preparation: - Removal of undesired part of fish. - Cut into pieces of 0.25~0.75” B. Coating: Prepared sizes are coated by using- - Egg flow - Milk powder - Preservatives. C. Fry: Using oil or fat on cupper pan , fishes are roasted at 190~200°c for 40~50 seconds. Other types of pan spoilage the fish.
D. Freezing: Freezing is done by direct freezing or indirect freezing. A mixture of salt ice or liquid nitrogen is passed through piping (that is connected with a series of pipes), firstly the pipe become cool and then the metal pot cooling down. Such the fish become cool by absorbing heat from it. E. Storing: After Performing the above steps, the fishes are stored in constant temperature and specific humid condition. Fishes preserved by above can be eaten throughout the year.
Drying (Dehydration) • Removal of water from fish (to reduce water activity) to extend shelf life & prevent the growth of microorganisms and enzymes. • Requires input of heat (evaporate water) – Sun, wind, flame, electrical etc. • Requires removal of water in the form of vapor. 6
Drying principles • Drying occurs in two phases- – Phase 1 (constant rate period) • Water removed from surface. – Phase 2 (falling rate period) • Water is removed from muscle. • Water migrates to the surface (diffusion). • Water evaporates at surface (requires heat). • Water is removed from the atmosphere surrounding the fish surface. 7

Steps of Drying A.Fish Preparation – - Washed by water - Removal of unnecessary parts - Cut into 0.25~0.75”. B. Cooking Operation – - Passing Prepared fish into 2lbs pressure water for 30 mins. C. Mincing – Further cutting into 0.2~0.5”. D. Drying & Packing – - Firstly at 80°c then 60°c~65°c by hot air.

Problems with dried fish – If environmental T is warm and fish is too wet • Molds Grow very well when drying in tropical areas. • Aerobic spoilage bacteria (if non-salted). If salted (solar salt) can get halophiles growing. – Pink colonies – Major problem with salted and dried cod. • Pests – Insect parts and eggs a major quality problem. – Flies (Dipteria) lay eggs and can spread disease. – Rodents and birds are a constant problem. • Lipid oxidation (rancidity). • Protein denaturation - Get muscle fragmentation. • If drying is too rapid we can get “case hardening”: water- impermeable skin at the surface. • Case hardening - Flesh soft on the inside and spoiled by bacteria. 12
Salting A traditional method that reduces water activity (aw) to retard microbial spoilage and chemical reactions. Salt penetrates into the muscle and binds the water. - 5~7% salt is used. Operation – Fishes are cut along its length and remove backbone from it. Salt are mixed in it for 15 days (Plasmolysis). As a result of salt concentration variation an osmotic difference occurs (Green Feed). It is dried in sunlight or hot air passing. 13
Head, gut and wash fish Soak in 10% brine for 30 min Drain Dry salt fish in shallow boxes Stack fish up first one skin down, last one skin up Leave for about 12 h (or up to 30 days) Wash salt crystals away with 10% brine or seawater Dry fish during day Pile fish up overnight Pack product 14 Process example (salted ground fish):Process example (salted ground fish):
Methods of salting A. Brine salting (15-25% solution) • Fish immersed in solution of salt. • Frequent stirring necessary. • Replacement of salt in brine may be needed. • Need to supply fresh brine to new batch of fish. B. Dry salting (3-4 parts fish to 1 part salt) • Salt rubbed into fish surface and fish left uncovered to dry. • Not recommended in tropical regions due to insects and rodents. C. Kench salting • Salt rubbed on split fish and stacked. Pickle formed which leaks away. D. Pickle salting • Pickle is from water and blood leaking from the muscle as salt 15
16 Removal of Backbone
Factors influencing the salting process – Thickness: thicker = slower NaCl uptake. – Fat content: more = slower NaCl uptake. – Quality: older = faster NaCl uptake. – Salt concentration and quality. – Temperature • More rapid salt penetration at higher temps. Storage – Keep cool, dry and well ventilated – Have plenty of insect/rodent traps – The saltier the product the longer the shelf-life. 17
18 Smoking Old preservation method. In developed countries, used for flavor and color Flavors Water Smoke (Hot air) Preparation Fishes are cut along its longitudinal and remove of unnecessary part from it. Later keep in 70~80% saturated salt solution. Then the fish is kept in kiln and passes the smoke of wood.
Smoking temperature 1. Cold smoking Room temperature (<90 F) Not cooked Perishable product 2. Hot smoking Temperature (>150 F) Cooked 19
