Fish Preservation Nutritional and Microbial Data from Plant Extract Treatments

Research by Manal Almughamisi measured the nutritional quality and microbial population of dried fish treated with plant extracts and oils. The dataset likely contains results from treatments using lime, ginger, turmeric, banana peel extracts, and oils, including hybridized forms. Specific microbial counts for pathogens like Staphylococcus spp. (52 CFU/g) and Salmonella spp. (14 CFU/g) are reported for the best-performing treatment.

Use Cases

• Compare antimicrobial efficacy of different plant extracts based on reported CFU counts for specific pathogens
• Analyze nutrient retention in fish flesh during storage based on described nutritional quality measurements
• Evaluate synergistic effects of hybridized treatments on aflatoxin formation inhibition
• Model the relationship between treatment type and microbial growth over an 8-week storage period

Strengths

• Includes specific microbial counts for 8 pathogens and molds, such as Staphylococcus spp. (52 CFU/g) and Listeria spp. (5 CFU/g)
• Reports aflatoxin levels reduced to a safer threshold of lower than 4 µg/kg
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope
