| Abstract |
Water and ice are used for a number of purpose in fish handling and processing. In fish handling, water is mainly used for washing the raw material and the containers in which it is packed. In fish processing, water is used for washing raw materials, utensils, equipments, processing halls etc. It is used for glazing frozen fish, preparation of brine and ice manufacture. Water is also used in boilers and in heating/cooling systems. Ice is used for chilling of fish during handling and at different stages of processing. Thus, fish handling and processing require a copious supply of potable water. The impurities present in the water and ice influence the quality of the finished product adversely. |
