Abstract

The current investigation aimed to study the effect frozen storage followed by cold smoking process on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Mullet fish. PAHs in smoked samples after 60 days of raw frozen storage, the total PAHs content were 23.6 and 11.9 µg/kg for samples from farms A and B, respectively. Benzo(a)Pyrene, PAH4 and PAH8 not detected in all smoked samples. Toxic Equivalent Factor (TEFs) values were 0.0497 and 0.0344 in smoked samples from farms A and B, respectively.

Keywords: Mullet fish, cold smoking, PAHs, frozen storage.
