| Abstract | A comparative study of the insulation efficiencies of expanded polystyrene slabs and multi-layer gunny fabric in long distance transportation of fresh iced fish was made.Used plywood boxes (second hand teachests) were employed as containers and the experiments conduded between Kakinada and Calcuttla. All the three insulants tried, namely, 25.4 mm thick expanded polystyrene slab, four and two layer gunny(jute) fabric, all sealed in 150 gauge polythene sheets, showed comparable insulation efficiencies, considering total bacterial counts, organoleptic qualities and TMA and TVN values of the transported fish as parameters. |
