Abstract: The present study was carried out to determine proximate biochemical composition of Puntius sophore, such as moisture, ash, protein, lipid, carbohydrate and pH in fresh fish samples were collected from the river Bhima of Pune district (M.S.) India. The changes in proximate biochemical compositions in ice preserved condition of the fishes for 7 days and 14 days period were also investigated for to know the freshness and nutrional state of fish. The fish comprised of 71.62 ± 0.04 % moisture, 3.99 ± 0.07 % ash 16.85 ± 1.13 % protein, 5.62 ± 2.02 % lipid, 1.92 ± 0.12 % carbohydrate and 6.24 ±0.05 pH in fresh condition. The amount of protein and lipid content reduced while amount of moisture, ash, carbohydrate and pH increased in 7 days and 14 days ice preserved condition.
Keywords: Puntius sophore, Protein, Lipid, River Bhima, ice preservation.
