Abstract:The effectiveness of a modified smoking kiln, the smoking quality, and the moisture sorption characteristics of smoked dried catfish and mackerel were all investigated in this study. Smoked dried catfish protein, ash, fat and moisture ranged between 73.37 and 73.80 %, 5.00 and 5.40% 10.30 and 11.05% and 8.05 and 8.12% respectively and for smoked dried mackerel 70.58 and 70.67%, 5.00 and 5.94%, 12.99 and13.15%, and 6.14 and 6.37% respectively, while the moisture sorption isotherm confirmed type III BET isotherm… Show more
