Natural Additives in Fish Processing examines various aspects of additives used for fish processing, as the focused has been led upon those additives which have been formulated from natural agents. It includes natural antimicrobials for bio-preservation of fish and natural anti-oxidants used for fish products. Provide the reader with the insights into the development of various natural agents used to prepare those additives that would be further used in fish processing.
