| Abstract | From the results of the investigation on the protein quality of the fishmeal prepared by wet and dry reduction processes it can be seen that the protein degradation in the cooked material is less compared to the uncooked material. Drying at 105 degree C did not alter the available lysine value significantly, if enough care was exercised to avoid scorching, in dry and wet reduction processes. Drying the presscake in the sun did not significantly change the available lysine value. Considering the slight variations in the available lysine value, pepsin digestibility and gross energy values the meals prepared by the wet reduction process coupled with sun drying can be adopted in fishing villages where the installation of the mechanical dryers is a problem. |
