Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the food quality and heavy metal content of Bangladeshi fresh and salted Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) products from three major stocks (Chandpur, Chittagong and Barisal). Moisture content of fresh and salted Hilsa of Chandpur, Chittagong and Barisal origin were 56.816%, 49.293%, 55.902%, 47.236%, 44.910% and 48.108%, respectively while their protein contents were 18.709%, 19.275%, 18.826%, 24.232%, 22.633% and 23.202%, respectively. On the other hand, Lipid contents were significantly higher as Hilsa is regarded as a fatty fish and the values were 18.932%, 21.552%, 19.847%, 17.264%, 17.956% and 16.803%, respectively and ash contents were 1.266%, 1.238%, 1.318%, 15.795%, 18.878% and 18.006%, respectively. TVB-N content of fresh and salted T. ilisha products collected from Chandpur, Chittagong and Barisal region were within the acceptable limit while their salt content ranged from 17.05 to 19.036%. Heavy metal concentrations in fresh and salted T. ilisha from Chandpur region, Cadmium were 0.235µg/g and 0.328µg/g, Copper 0.688µg/g and 0.732µg/g, and for Lead 0.443µg/g and 0.433µg/g, respectively; whereas the concentration of heavy metal in fresh and salted T. ilisha from Chittagong region Cadmium were 0.729µg/g and 0.233µg/g, for Copper as 0.713µg/g and 0.750µg/g and for Lead as 0.961µg/g and 0.676µg/g respectively, and heavy metal concentrations in fresh and salted T. ilisha from Barisal region Cadmium were 0.246µg/g and 0.326µg/g, Copper 0.375 µg/g and 0.465µg/g, and for Lead 0.465µg/g and 0.689µg/g, respectively; which were within the satisfactory level for human consumption.
