Abstract
The present study was conducted on eight dry fish samples from Kaikara village, Mangaldoi District, Assam. The samples were analysed for moisture content, protein content, lipid content, pH, carbohydrate content and antioxidant activity. Analysis was carried out following standard methods. The study reported that all the fish samples were rich in carbohydrate, protein and lipid and highly nutritive for the native population.
Keywords: Dry fish, protein, lipid, moisture, antioxidant.
