Gingelly oil, mustard oil, sunflower oil,and hydnocarpus oil were found to posses insect repellancey whereas palm oil attracted insects . Gingelly oil, mustard oil and sunflower oil delayed infestation with blowflies whereas hydnocarpus oil was good against both blowflies and beetles . It was observed that blowflies were prevalent during rainy season and beetles during non-rainy season . The preservative treatment for cured fish with a mixture of calcium propionate, bu tylated hydroxy anisole and chlorine was effective in delaying insect infestation in additionto preventing red. |
