Abstract: A total of five dried fish species viz. Bele (
Glossogobius giuris)
,Tit punti
(
Puntius ticto)
, Kholisa (
Colisa fasciata)
, Bacha (
Eutropiichthyes vacha)
, Kechki (
Corica soborna)
and some mixed fishes chanda, nama chanda, mola, guchi, kakila (
Chanda nama,
Chanda ranga Amblypharyngodon mola, Mastacembelus pancalus, Xenentodon cancilla) were selected for preparation of powder (FPC) which can be preserved for a time period. This fishes were sun dried or oven-dried. Quality of the oven dried fish was better than that of the sun dried fishes. Weight of fish powder was found to range from 43.63± 14.63g Bele to 84.24± 31.77g Kholisa. After sun drying the maximum powder products from 1kg of fresh fish was 258.009 (25.80%) in Kechki and minimum 117.20g (11.72%) in Bele. The ratio between the fresh fish weight and sun dried fish weight was found minimum as 1: 0.123 Bele and maximum as 1: 0.259 Kechki and mixed fishes also more or less. The lowest duration of day was needed in Kechki (3-4 days) and the highest duration (7 days) was needed in Bele. The minimum and maximum weight of sun dried product (N=10) was obtained as 46.83 ± 15.31g (Bele) and 89.44 ± 31.66g (Kholisa) respectively. The oven dried fishes ranged from 44.93 ± 14.65g (Bele) and 86.88 ± 31.62g (Kholisa).
