title: Edible products from pelagic bissaria (Atherina mochon) fish.
abstract: The study was concerned with the utilization of small pelagic bissaria (Atherina mochon) fish in preparing edible, cheap, acceptable and nutritive products. The results confirmed the successful use of the mince of both the whole and beheaded gutted fish either alone or after mixing with different levels of plant sources (e.g. rice, wheat, potato, sesame butter, spices) in producing fresh fish ball, fish flour and spiced salted fish paste. Generally, the panelists preferred the products made from beheaded gutted fish mince above that prepared from whole one. The utilization of plant sources improved the technological properties of the products. The influence of processing on the chemical composition of these products was studied and tabulated.
