Abstract
The present study was made to evaluate the quality of smoked hilsa fish (Tenulosa ilisha) that is very popular among fish farmers and consumers, and commands a very high commercial value in Yanam markets. The fresh fish sample was collected from the fish farmer and was smoked in a smoking kiln using sawdust, rice bran and melon husk while electric oven was used as the control. In the present study proximate composition of total lipid and water soluble vitamins such as Ascorbic acid, Niacenamide, Folic acid and Pyridoxine were evaluated using standard analytical techniques. Smoke drying with melon husk method revealed the most suitable with enhanced total lipid, ascorbic acid, folic acid and pyridoxine.
