APROVEITAMENTO RACIONAL DE PESCADO DE ÁGUA DOCE DA AMAZÔNIA. III -FISHBURGER

With an aim toward utilizing the large production potential of small fresh water fish with boney fish meat, 47 experiments were conducted with different fishburger preparations. Different fish species were tested with a panel of testers for flavor, smell, texture and final product appearance. These same characteristics were also tested after freezing for three months. The formula with a score average above five was made up of 87,8% fish meat. Among 116 children tested between ages four and six, this formula had a 93% acceptance level. Food conversion efficiency was tested using rats and weight gains similar to those of balanced ration were found.
