The research aims to enhance the nutritional quality and microbial safety of dried fish using plant-derived bioactive compounds.
Fish flesh was treated with lime, ginger, turmeric, banana peel extracts, and oils in hybridized forms.
Nutritional quality and microbial populations were measured using established protocols.
Controlled experiments were conducted to compare treated versus untreated samples over an extended storage period.
Control samples had higher bacterial and fungal growth at week 8 compared to treatments T8 to T13, which exhibited superior antimicrobial activities.
Treatment T8 recorded the lowest counts for various pathogens: Staphylococcus spp. (52 CFU/g), Salmonella spp. (14 CFU/g), and others.
All combined treatments significantly retarded aflatoxin formation in fish tissues to below 4 µg/kg.
