Fish Preservation Data on Microbial Growth and Nutrient Retention

Research by Manal Almughamisi measured the nutritional quality and microbial population of dried fish treated with plant extracts and oils. The dataset likely contains counts of bacteria and fungi, such as Staphylococcus spp. and Aspergillus spp., recorded in colony-forming units per gram. The study aimed to preserve fish flesh during prolonged storage by converting agricultural products into bio-additives.

Use Cases

• Compare antimicrobial efficacy of different plant extracts based on microbial counts mentioned in the description
• Analyze nutrient retention in fish flesh during storage based on the described nutritional quality measurements
• Study synergistic effects of hybridized treatments based on the described mechanistic effects
• Model aflatoxin formation inhibition based on the described safer levels lower than 4 µg/kg

Strengths

• Includes specific microbial counts for pathogens like Staphylococcus spp. (52 CFU/g) and Salmonella spp. (14 CFU/g)
• Reports aflatoxin levels reduced to safer thresholds lower than 4 µg/kg
• Data is available under an open CC-BY-4.0 license

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 (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope
