| Abstract | Humidity conditions play important role in governing the storage life of cured fish products, since mould growth and red halophile attack depend on the moisture content of the product which varies with changes in relative humidity (RH). An additional factor is contributed by salt, if used for curing, which by lowering the equilibrium vapour pressure in fish muscle to 76 per cent. RH helps the products to absorb moisture, when the humidity is above this level. The paper is focus on the storage characteristics dried cured fish and reveals the relation of relative humidity. |
