Abstract
Formaldehyde residues were analyzed in various fish and fish products (fresh water fishes, marine water fishes and ready to eat fish preparations) by RP-HPLC method. The Limit of detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) were 0.71 μg/mL and 2.15 μg/mL, respectively. Formaldehyde level (mg per kg) in Catlacatla, Oreochromis niloticus, Rastrelligerkanagurta, Sardinapilachardus and Bramidae were 13.90 ± 0.89, 11.85 ± 1.02, 23.01 ± 1.29, 22.19 ± 1 and 20.37 ± 1.69 respectively, while it was Nil in Labeorohita, Siluriformes and Harpadonnehereus species. Formaldehyde was not found in ready to eat products.
