Abstract:

Drying is one of the most commonly used method of conservation, particulary in developing countries, where is still lack of the acces to electricity. This method of preservation can be innovative approach to the problem of food preservation, especially in less developed countries like Cambodia, where majority of inhabitants are depend on fishery and aquaculture. Because of the huge losses, mainly during the storage, there is a need for more developed approach to conservation of fish meat. That is the main reason, why the drying process of fish species Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), Channa (Ophicephalus sriatus), Silver Barb (Puntus gonionotus), Walking catfish (Clarias batrachus), Pangasius (Pangasius hypophtalmus) in different dryers were investigated in this study. For drying in eletric oven (EO), samples of fish meat were divided in two halfs. First half was treated with 3.5% saline solution for one hour and second half were not treated. For drying in hybrid solar dryer (HSD) and greenhouse dryer (GH) all samples were treated also by 3.5% saline solution for one hour.
