Traditional fish drying processors often recycle brine in salting fish prior to drying. This study determines the changes in chemical and microbiological properties of recycled brine and examines possible correlation with the quality of dried fish. Brine samples were analyzed at 0, 1. 2, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, 19, 24, 26, and 30 days for amino nitrogen, halophilic count, salt content, pH, thiobarbituric acid, total volatile bases nitrogen, protein and nonprotein-N. Results show that chemical and microbiological characteristics fluctuate with reuse. Panelists regard all dried fish samples salted from brines of different age as acceptable. No significant difference in general acceptability was observed. Linear correlation reveals that higher amino nitrogen content of brine results to lesser acceptability of dried fish. The odor of the raw dried fish was inversely correlated with the total volatile bases in the brine. Halophilic count tends to increase with recycling. Fish-Processing.
