Studies on Liquid Smoke Production from some Agricultural Wastes and its Effect on some Smoked Fish Products

Abstract: It was possible to produce liquid smokes from some agricultural wastes such as beech sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, rice husk and corncob as it contains the main compounds of wood namely: cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. This finding preserves the environment from the pollution and can be used in food industry to smoke foods. Filtration liquid smoke through active charcoal can remove the most of carcinogenic substances especially benzo[a]pyeren so liquid smoking method is more safely than traditional smoking methods. Finally, liquid smoke acts as preservation and flavoring agent because of its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
