Abstract
Biochemical, nutritional and microbiological quality of six smoked fishes viz. Esomus
danricus, Puntius sophore, Mystus bleekeri, Amblypharyngodcm mo/a, Notopterus notopterus and
Glossogobius giuris of Manipur were analysed. Non protein nitrogen (NPN) and total volatile
base nitrogen (TVBN) were 0.50 to 1.86% and 40.00 to 80.00 mg% respectively. In vitro
digestibility of one sample (P. sophore) was higher than that of casein. Alpha amino nitrogen
liberated in pepsin phase were 28.44 to 49.75% of total N and in trypsin phase, 53.25 to
70.37% of total N. Available lysine content was 2.17 to 4.68 g/16g of N. Total plate count
of bacteria (TPC), total plate count of fungi (TFC), most probable number (MPN) of coliform,
Staphylococcus aureus and faecal Streptococci counts were lOMO g-1, lOMO g-1, O-lO g"1, and
lOMO g"1 respectively. But Escherichia coli and Salmonella were not detected in any of the
smoked fishes studied. Aspergillus niger and Cladosporium cladosporoides were the dominant
fungal flora.
