Abstract

This study aims to optimize processing and packaging technologies to improve the quality of fish products caught by local fishermen in Bima Bay. The methods included a survey of 50 fishermen, processing experiments (blanching, quick freezing, vacuum packaging), and microbiological, sensory, and community acceptance tests. The results showed that the dominant fish species were skipjack (35%), tuna (30%), and scad (20%). Processing with blanching and quick freezing reduced microbial growth by up to 90% compared to untreated samples. Sensory evaluation indicated an 85% acceptance rate for vacuum-packed frozen fish. Community surveys revealed that 80% of fishermen were willing to adopt this technology. These findings demonstrate that appropriate technology based on quick freezing and vacuum packaging can improve fish quality, reduce post-harvest losses, and contribute to fishermen’s welfare.
