  Two different methods, namely traditional sun drying and heat pump drying were employed to investigate the effect of drying on the quality of dried mola (Amblypharyngodon mola), kachki (Corica soborna) and chapila (Gudusia chapra). Results showed that the sensory characteristics of the dried fish produced under both sun and mechanical drying process found to be excellent in quality and overall acceptability scores. Sun dried fish products rehydrated more rapidly than mechanically dried products. The pH value of mechanically dried products found to be lower than the sun dried products ranged from 6.15% to 6.85%. The moisture, protein, lipid and ash content ranged from 9.52% to 10.62%, 59.41% to 70.31%, 9.86% to 22.55% and 7.80% to 11.68% respectively. The fatty acid profile showed no breakdown of the unsaturated fatty acids using heat pump dryer. The Total Vo.. View more»
