Senegal is a Western African country known for the importance of its marine resources. Artisanal fisheries contribute 85% of the total annual catch reaching 403,911 tons. Preserving approach during traditionally marine resource processing into indigenous seafood products is based on salt overuse. Guedj, a popular fermented indigenous seafood product, is the typical 30°C over salted transformed marine resource commodity across the country. One of the procedures for guedj production is immersing fish in water with sodium chloride at a concentration of over 30% (w/v) for preliminary fermentation during 24 hr to 48 hr to develop flavor followed by additional dry-salting and sun drying.
This study presents the level of microorganisms in fillets from lean, moderately fat and fatty artisanally handled fish, the efficacy of immersion in over salted [NaCl 60% (w/v)] water and 30°.. View More»
