A study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of Pangasius as a raw material for smoke drying. In the present study, smoke drying was done similar to the methods followed by traditional fishermen but the experiments were conducted in controlled conditions in laboratory. Pangasius was hot smoked at 80°C for 3 hours, followed by mechanical drying at 60°C. The prepared product was cooled and quality of the product was evaluated using proxi-mate composition, physicochemical parameters,benzopyrene content, microbial enumeration, analy-sis of fatty acids, analysis of amino acids andsensory evaluation. It was observed that themoisture content of smoked-dried Pangasius wasbelow 15%. A decrease in pH to 5.96 and an increasein Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVBN) to 24.45 mgN/100g was observed in smoked-dried Pangasius.After smoke-drying, the Peroxide Value (PV),Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS)and Free Fatty Acids (FFA) has increased to 2.98 meqO2/kg fat, 1.35 mg MDA/kg fat and 1.29% oleic acid respectively. Total Viable Count (TVC) and Staplylococcus spp. were within the acceptable limit.Saturated fatty acids increased during smoke dryingwith palmitic acid dominating others. Among aminoacids, glutamic acid, lysine and aspartic acid weredominant. The benzopyrene content of smoked-Fishery Technology 59 (2022) : 259 - 269dried Pangasius was observed to be 7 ppb. From the results, it was observed that the quality parameters of smoked-dried Pangasius were within the limit of acceptability with good sensory scores suggest in gits acceptance. Hence, it was concluded that smoke-drying can be used as a method for preserving Pangasius by controlling the benzopyrene concen-tration in smoke during processing.
