Abstract
This study was conducted to elaborate the canned anchovy (Engraulis anchoita), and to evaluate the canning process, the physical-chemical and microbiological characteristics of the canned product. The canned anchovies were prepared with two topping liquids, employing different brine and pre-cooking times, which resulted in eight treatments. These samples were analyzed to determine the physical-chemical and microbiological characteristics, and the commercial sterility was assessed. The microbiological parameters were in compliance with the canned fish legislation in force. The canned anchovies submitted to brine for five minutes, preserved in tomato sauce and without pre-cooking procedure showed the highest percentage of sodium chloride contents (0.24 %) and of ashes (4.10 %). The canned anchovies preserved in sunflower oil, submitted to brine for two minutes, and pre-cooked showed the highest proteins contents (16.97 %).
