Sažetak
Fish has always been extremely important in human nutrition due to its culinary and nutritional values. Throughout history, different
methods of conserving fish have been developed in order to preserve its quality, the best known being curing in salt. The objective of this study was to describe the production technology of salted sardines harvested from the open seas, and to determine the chemical composition and quality of the finished product. Analyses were performed on samples of salted sardines taken from a 5-kilo can. Fish were sampled randomly from the entire content of the can. In the sensory analysis, all examined samples of fish were of satisfactory quality. The analysis of the fish abdominal cavity and muscles found no parasites. The mean value of fish mass was 22.97 g. The average amount of water was 46.61%, 8.92% of fat, 8.40% of protein and the analysed samples contained 22.54% of salt. The results indicate that the irreproachable sensory properties of salted sardines depend on the proper handling of fish after harvesting as well as on the processing methods. To obtain this traditional product, it is necessary to use high quality raw material (fresh fish of impeccable quality), cure it in pure salt in proper sequence, store it in appropriate conditions and check it regularly.
