Fish Preservation Data on Nutritional Quality and Microbial Growth

Validation data from figshare contains measurements of nutritional quality and microbial population in dried fish samples treated with plant extracts and oils. The dataset includes specific microbial counts, such as Staphylococcus spp. (52 CFU/g) and Salmonella spp. (14 CFU/g), for treated and control samples. Author Manal Almughamisi published the data in 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare antimicrobial efficacy of different plant extract treatments based on reported CFU/g counts.
• Analyze nutrient retention in fish flesh during storage based on described measurements of proteins and vitamins.
• Evaluate synergistic effects of hybridized treatments on aflatoxin formation based on the reported level lower than 4 µg/kg.
• Model the relationship between treatment type and microbial growth over time based on the week 8 results mentioned.

Strengths

• Dataset includes specific microbial counts for eight different pathogens/molds, such as Staphylococcus spp. (52 CFU/g) and Listeria spp. (5 CFU/g).
• Results cover a comparative analysis between control samples and 13 different treatments (T8 to T13).
• Data is published 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 (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
