| Abstract | The possibilities of employing chemical preservatives as adjuncts to the conventional methods of preserving cured fish have been explored. Of the various chemicals tried, propionic acid was found to be most promising when used for wetsalted and, pickled fish. It helps in completely suppressing red halophile attack and mould growth which constitute the major causes of spoilage in cured fish. |
