Evaluating the Effect of Different Cooking Methods on the Nutritional Quality of Freshwater Fish Nemacheilus botia | Chapter 9 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 3

Fishes are the main source of animal protein for the human diet. Fish is one of the demanding foods in the world. It plays a vital role in a nutritional diet. Quality of fish depends on the available nutritional components, mainly including Protein, carbohydrates lipids, Vitamins, and Fatty acids. Nutritional values of the cooked food may be minimised due to cooking practices. Hence, the present investigation is undertaken with the objective of studying nutritional value before and after cooking, to recommend the best cooking method for the selected fish species. This study was performed to investigate the effect of different cooking methods on the Nutrition of Nemacheilus botia. Nemacheilus botia is an important local commercial fish species, which is appreciated not only because of their small size, highly valuable but also their boneless flesh with excellent quality and taste. Selected fish species were collected from the river located in Chandwad. Uncooked Fresh Fish, Boiled Fish, Fried Fish, Roasted Fish and Steamed Fish are the different cooking treatments considered to fulfil the objective of the study. The nutrient contents are changed due to the application of different cooking treatments, losses of nutrients take place and retention of some nutrients, like protein, also occurs. Different cooking methods are affecting the quantity of total protein. Lipid content is found to be increased in all cooking methods except the Boiled method. This study also showed that fat and carbohydrate content were significantly changed by four cooking methods.

Determination of Acute Toxicity of Metasystox among Freshwater Fish, Nemacheilus botia from Kedrai Dam in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 6 | Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 6

This stage primarily focuses on the severe toxicity of Metasystox on the freshwater fish, Nemacheilus botia from Kedrai dam in Maharashtra, India. The indiscriminate use of these pesticides to better agricultural result and yield may have impacts on non-mark organism, particularly aquatic life and atmosphere. On the freshwater fish Nemacheilus botia, the severe toxicity of the organophosphate pesticide Metasystox has happened investigated. For many age, the fish have been used to evaluate the level of water contamination. To decide the median inevitable doses of Metasystox (Oxydemeton-methyl) over 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours, static bioassays were transported on freshwater fish, N. botia. The LC50 values were 10.3, 9.131, 7.884, and 7.018 ppm subsequently 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively. The results show that the LC50 principles decreased accompanying increase in exposure ending. Fish mortality on account of pesticide uncovering mainly depends upon allure sensitivity to the death, its concentration and event of exposure. The judgment of LC50 concentration of contaminants is an important step before completing activity further studies on physiological changes in animals. In the study the N. botia exposed to metasystox, the severe toxicity level was expressed in conditions of LC50 values.
