Abstract

Smoking techniques have been progressively improved and different procedures have been developed in different regions for treating fish. In these times, the technology is mainly used for enrichment of fish with specific taste and odour, to extend the shelf-life of these perishable products and appearance required widely on the market. A lot of chemical contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are formed during the combustion of fuel in the smoking process. PAHs are a group of compounds that have been the subject of great concern in the recent years due to their toxic, mutagenic and/or carcinogenic potentials to humans. These fact can have a significant impact on the acceptance of these products by consumers. In this review article, the objective is to describe factors affecting elimination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from traditional smoked common carp meat.

Highlights

  • The fish processing industry is not well developed in our country because for many years the amount of fish was just not enough and because of the consumers' habits [4]

  • Potential health hazards could be associated with smoked foods may be caused by carcinogenic components of wood smoke – mainly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), derivatives of PAHs, such as nitro-PAHs or oxygenated PAHs, and to a lesser extent Nnitroso compounds and heterocyclic aromatic amines [10]

  • Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons - PAHs A lot of chemical contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, formaldehyde, nitrogen and sulphur oxides are formed during the combustion of fuel in the smoking process [11]
