With this objective in mind a feasibility study RAB/77/008/21) on the technical and economic aspects was prepared for upgrading and expanding the activities of the Fisheries Development Project' in Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate. The study centred on adding new fishing- units and the establishment of some shore facilities needed for improving and activating productive, servicing and marketing operations. A comprehensive and integrated study was prepared for this purpose complete with financial and economic analysis and evaluation. In response, the Red Sea Governorate has taken some positive steps to implement sections of the study. The purchase of refrigerated transport trucks,construction of 50 ton capacity cold stores in Hurghada and the ongoing construction of an ice plant of 20 ton/day capacity are among these positive steps. Complementary to these developmental steps, and as the 'Fisheries Development Project' in Hurghada constitutes the basis of planned development, this study has been prepared on the feasibility of establishing a fish smoking unit in Hurghada. This unit will have a medium capacity to produce good, locally acceptable smoked fish products, to be sold at reasonable prices ( L.E 2-3 per kilogram). Such products are to be very competitive with similar imported products which are currently sold on the local market for L.E 4.50- 5.50 per kg. In 1979 the total quantities of imported smoked fish is reported to be about 460 tons at a cost of L.E 620 OOO. The fish smoking unit will require about 300 cons fresh weight raw material ( pelagic, and hook and line species) to produce about 150 tons smoked fish as final product. In addition to producing a local quality product a part of important substitution saving foreign currencies could be achieved. The capital investment requirements for the unit is estimated at about L.E 100 OOO, 25% of which is to be self financed by the Fisheries Development Project and the balance could be obtained by procuring a Food Security loan. ii The financial evaluation proved that the fish smoking unit is feasible giving a financial rate of return ( F.R.R.) of 40%. Moreover, the economic reate of return ( E.R.R.) is 31%. The sensitivity analysis proved that when raising costs by 10% the return is 13%. On reduction of benefits the rate is 10%. In addition, the proposed fish smoking unit will provide 24 new job opportunities for a total gross income of L.E 33 ,OOO annually. To schedule operations it is proposed that production of smoked fish can commence in December 1983. ( i i i ) Table of Contents Page 1. Introduction 1 2. Background 2 3. Justification 3 4.

    THE TORRY KILN ITS DESIGN AND APPLICATION WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE COLD SMOKING OF SALMON, HERRING, AND COD Alex M cK . Bannerman, M BE A. I. F . S. T. Independent Consultant Swanland, North Ferriby Yorkshire HU14 3QT En gland 44! 0482-633124 In 1933, I was privileged to join the Torry Research Station in Aberdeen, Scotland. I worked for the director, the late Dr. G. A. Reay, investigating fish proteins, freezing, cold storage, salting, and dehydration of herring and cod, and the analytical techniques to test these processes ~ In 1936 37, I became involved in smoke curing fish, working with Dr. Charles Cutting. We started a research program to investigate the process of curing fish in traditional kilns. Some of these kiln s were 800 ft square and 30 ft high. We measured air flow, temperatures, humidities, and weight loss of fish during smoking. From the data, we built a picture of the irregularities and disadvantages of smoking in these old kilns. However, this also led to improving the process. After several attempts, we developed a simple tunnel design in which fish could be smoked under controlled conditions. The process was more economical, faster, and the product more uniform. This is a bit of history, but it was from this work that we built our expertise and knowledge of fish. A previous speaker suggested that with modern, programmable smoking equipment it is only necessary to push buttons, and "witch doctors" are no longer needed. I would agr ee with this for products such as salami, sausages, and other products manufactured from uniform ingredients in skins of uniform length and thickness ~ However, fish come in all shapes and sizes, with differing fat, protein and water content.

  • The Effects of Different Raw Materials and Gel Forming Conditions on The
    unuftp.is Final project 2015 THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT RAW MATERIALS AND GEL FORMING CONDITIONS ON THE QUALITY OF FISH CAKES FROM MINCED REDFISH Tran Thi Huyen Faculty of Food Technology, Nha Trang University 02 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Nha Trang, Vietnam [email protected] Supervisors: Sigurjon Arason University of Iceland and Matis, Iceland [email protected] Paulina Elzbieta Wasik Matis, Iceland [email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, fish cakes are not only popular products in Asian markets but also consumed widely in many countries in the world. Shortage of fresh fish for producing fish cakes has been a great concern of producers. This study aimed to evaluate quality of fish cakes prepared from fresh redfish mince (January 2016), 1-month old frozen redfish mince (December 2015) and 6- month-old frozen redfish mince (July 2015) and in forming conditions of chilled temperature (0 – 4 °C) and room temperature (18 - 20°C) during 4 weeks under chilled storage. The sampling points were 0, 2 and 4 weeks. Results indicated that there were no significant differences in sensory scores, pH, breaking force, hardness of fish cakes made from fresh redfish mince compared to those made from frozen redfish mince. Shear force of fish cake made from fresh mince was higher than that from frozen mince. The different forming conditions did not cause changes in colour, pH, and lipid compounds of fish cakes (with an exception for TBARS value). Forming at 18 – 20 °C brought higher breaking force and shear force of fish cakes than those formed at 0 – 4 °C. Breaking force and hardness increased after second week of storage.

  • Preservation of Marine Products by Salting and Drying
    PRESERVATION OF MARINE PRODUCTS BY SALTING AND DRYING by NORYATI ISMAIL (M.Sc., University of Nottingham) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES March 1990 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 2 1 MAk 1991 LIBRARY ABSTRACT Dried, salted morwong, shark and sardine salted in saturated brine at 30°C and dried at different temperatures under ambient RH were prepared. Dried squid was prepared without salting. Salt uptake was very rapid and highest in shark followed by morwong and sardine. Moisture loss was highest in sardine followed by shark and morwong. Squid attained the highest drying rates amongst all the species and at 50°C its rate was the highest followed by shark, morwong and sardine. A drying temperature of 50°C gave a compromise between product quality and drying rates. Lightly salted products were significantly (p < 0.01) prefe^ed in all species. Products dried at lower temperatures were significantly more acceptable (p < 0.01) for shark and sardine but not for morwong and squid. Products salted for 8h (morwong and sardine) 4h (shark) and non-salted (squid) and dried at 50°C were used for storage studies. Storage at 5°C was superior to that at 25°C or 37°C in terms of product appearance, browning, rancidity, moisture loss, product texture and rehydration behaviour. The effects of salting, drying and storage on the protein properties were demonstrated by decreased protein solubility in KCl and SDS + B mercoptoethanol, disappearance and lost intensity of some bands in the IEF pattern of water soluble proteins in all the species.

  • Radiation Preservation of Fish and By-Products by K
    Radiation Preservation of Fish and By-products by K. Vas Fish and fishery products constitute a sizeable portion (10-20%) of the total protein consumption, and a major part (50-70%) of the animal protein consumption of the population in many of the 17 Member States of the Agency in South and South-East Asia and the Far East. Around one-third of the world's population (ca. 1000 million people) live in these 17 countries (Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Burma, India, Indonesia, Japan, Khmer Rep., Korea Rep., Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Viet Nam). In absolute figures, the per capita daily intake of both total and animal protein are generally low in this area. The serious deficiency in animal protein consumption could, at least partially, be remedied by increasing the aquatic protein supplies by (a) increasing the catch and (t>) by preservation of what has been caught, in order to reduce the tremendous losses presently occurring during handling, transport and storage of this highly perishable commodity. Although more than one-fourth of the total world catch (ca. 20 million tons) is produced in the area (half of it by Japan), this could and should be increased considerably. In the meantime, preservation of the present catch is of tremendous importance. This is especially true for populations living away from the coast, lakes or streams. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to supply fresh fish and fishery products to these people because a great deal quickly spoils during transport, especially in hot and humid areas. It is quite clear, therefore, that any measures which could ease the situation should be tried and, if successful, applied as soon as practicable.
