Abstract:African catfish, Clarias gariepinus of average weight 1.5 kg were filleted and pretreated with extracts of turmeric (TU) and ginger (GI) before hot smoking at 80 °C. The combination levels of TU and GI per treatment were as follows: Treatment 1, T1 (100TU:50GI), T2 (50TU:100GI), T3 (0TU:150GI), T4 (0TU:0GI), and T5 (75TU:75GI). The fillets were immersed into the treatment solution for 20 min and then hot smoked for 36 hours at 80°C. The smoked and dried fillets were stored for 30 days and analyzed for proximat… Show more
