Abstract

Fish pickle was prepared from mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) fish, and the nutritional contents, shelf-life at different storage conditions, and cost-profit were analyzed. The moisture, protein, lipid, and ash content of produced mackerel tuna pickle (MTP) were found 47.70%, 29.96%, 18.37%, and 3.7%, respectively. The effects of acetic acid inclusion and storage temperature were evaluated on MTP storage using a 5-point scoring system by a group of 10 trained panelists. MTP added with 4% acetic acid (10%, v/v) and stored at refrigeration temperature (4 °C) showed longer shelf-life than MTP without acetic acid and stored at ambient temperature. There were eight essential and seven nonessential amino acids detected in MTP. Among the essential amino acids, lysine content was found the highest (431.43 mg/100 g MTP) and among the nonessential amino acids, glutamic acid content was found the highest (643.86 mg/100 g MTP). A simple cost-profit analysis showed that the marginal profit in MTP production was 28.0% of the sale value. So, the production of MTP at household and small industry level will generate additional income for commercial fishermen and producers, and will enhance per capita fish protein consumption by urban and rural consumers.
