Dried fish is an important source of animal protein in providing
nutrition of the poor and economically disadvantaged peoples of
Bangladesh. It is liked and consumed by a large number of people of
the world due to its characteristic taste and flavor. But there are
some disadvantages of dried fish. Generally two major infestations
damage the products, one is dried fishes are frequently infested by
blow fly and their larvae during drying phase and another is by
beetle and mites in the storage condition that reduce the quality
of the finished products. To overcome these problems, the fish
processors use various insecticides and fungicides. Sun dried fish
contaminated with insecticides has already created a wide spectrum
of health hazard in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. This book
provides a potential approach to the fish processors to overcome
these problems based on the findings of the author's individual
assessment. The study was conducted to see the effect of
Bitter-melon extract against fly infestation on dried fish
products. As Bitter-melon has good antimicrobial and insecticidal
property, it could be a solution against fly infestation instead of
insecticides and fungicides.
