“…High fat contents observed in Oyun sample could lead to short shelf-life as a result of rancidity. et al (2015); Mohammad and Yusuf (2016) and Nnaji and Ngele (2016). Protein content of the dried smoked catfish depends majorly on the types of feed given to the fish, time and frequency of feeding, maturation size, processing and handling methods.…”

The use of smoking kiln for drying catfish is on the increase in Nigeria due to its effectiveness in reducing moisture and contamination with toxic compounds during smoking. Chemical properties of kiln-smoked catfish in selected locations in Ilorin metropolis were determined in this study. Kiln-smoked catfish were obtained from four major locations (Oyun, Asa-Dam, Tanke and Agbo-Oba) in Ilorin, Nigeria. The samples were subjected to chemical and polycyclic hydrocarbon content analyses. Dried catfish from all the locations had low moisture and crude fibre contents. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the crude fibre contents of the kiln-smoked catfish. Protein contents ranging from 53.72-56.49% were obtained for the kilnsmoked catfish samples. Fat contents ranged from 9.92-11.77% while the carbohydrate contents ranged from 19.02-23.59%. Potassium was the most abundant mineral in the samples with no traces of lead and cadmium. Agbo-Oba samples contained the highest pyrene (2983.215 ng/ml) and total polycyclic hydrocarbon (PAHs) (3349.090 ng/ml). Data on steroid fractions indicated that 17b-estradiol was significantly greater in quantity than those recorded from other steroid fractions. Microbial analyses of the samples revealed the presence of the following pathogenic organisms: Klebsiella spp, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Vibrio spp, Aspergillus niger, penicilium spp, Trichoderma spp which are harmful to man. The use of smoking kiln method improved the nutrients and reduced PAHs in catfish. Keywords: Smoking kiln, Catfish, Chemical properties, Polycyclic hydrocarbon, Mineral elements

“…Decapoda are an order of crustaceans including shrimps, crayfishes, lobsters, and crabs (Hobbs and Lodge, 2010). The crab considered as one of the greatest important nutritious aquatic animals in the world as well as other seafood (Ng et al, 2008;Mohammad and Yusuf, 2016). Crab meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and essential minerals (Emmanuel, 2008).…”

Background: Seafood are known to be nutritionally rich, however, water bodies from where these foods are harvested are often burdened with wastes from industries, household and run-offs. Thus seafood can harbor pathogenic microorganisms and heavy metals which can pose a serious health hazard to consumers. Materials and Methods: In this study, 5kg each of Littorina littorea, Achatina fulica,Tympanotonos fuscatus, Dorsanum miran, Egeria radiate and Penaeus notialis were investigated for microbial, proximate and heavy metal qualities using standard microbiological and chemical methods of analysis. Results: The gastropod mollusks Tympanotonos fuscatus, Littorina littorea and Achatina fulica had significantly (p≤0.05) higher microbial loads compared to other samples. All the samples had significantly (p≤0.05) higher coliform counts compared to standard specifications. The microbial isolates from the samples included species of Bacillus, Klebsiellae, Citrobacter, Providencia, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, yeasts, Alternaria, Absidia, Rhizopus, and Mucor. Antibiogram of the isolates revealed multiple resistances with 79.55% and 66.67% resistance to antibacterial and antifungal agents respectively. The seafood was rich in protein (8.0±0.03 to 46.0±0.03%) and fat (0.6±0.01 to 8.8±1.00%) but low in carbohydrate (1.18±0.84 to 3.81±0.86%).The heavy metal compositions of the seafood were generally low except for manganese 6.36±0.03ppm in Dorsanum miran and nickel 0.81±0.50 ppm in Penaeus notialis. Conclusion: The microbial loads of the seafood are significantly (p≤0.05) higher in gastropods and more than acceptable standard, effective protection of water bodies for food cultivation and constant monitoring of seafood is necessary. Adequate processing and employing good manufacturing practices can reduce the microbial loads to an acceptable level and prevent food borne hazards that could be associated with seafood consumption.
