Abstract

Kippers have been successfully made from horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). Storage trials have shown that the kippers will safely keep for 40 days at 4-5°C and only 5 days at 28-30°C. Consumer tests have shown that the product is acceptable at a salt content of 3-4% and moisture content of 55-60~o. This product may prove attractive to the Ghanaian consumer and help raise the present market value of horse mackeral.
