Advances in Fish Processing Technology

Over the past two to three decades, significant progress has been made in the field of science and technology related to the handling and processing of fish. These developments have led to notable improvements in the efficiency, safety, and quality of fish products. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the advances in fish processing technology, with a particular emphasis on research and innovations from around the world, and especially those originating from India. Special attention is given to the unique characteristics of tropical fish species commonly found in Indian waters, which present distinct challenges and opportunities in processing.The book is structured into 20 well-organized chapters. The initial three chapters focus on fish resources and their biological characteristics, including detailed discussions on odour and flavour profiles that are important in quality assessment. The following eleven chapters delve into various preservation technologies. Given that fish and fish products are highly perishable and prone to public health hazards-often due to time-temperature abuse-these chapters provide critical insights into safe and effective preservation methods.The final three chapters concentrate on quality control measures, ensuring that products meet health and safety standards. This book serves as a valuable resource for a broad audience, including ichthyologists, food technologists, and researchers engaged in the fish industry.
