Table 1.
Effect of cooking methods on THg concentrations.
Sample/Determination | THg concentration, ng/g dry weight | Moisture, % | Raw to Cooked weight conversion |
---|---|---|---|
Raw | 214.15 ± 1.45b | 61.95 ± 2.10a | – |
Steamed | 258.07 ± 7.57a | 61.53 ± 1.98a | 1.18 |
Baked | 192.62 ± 2.83c | 57.00 ± 2.01ab | 1.08 |
Fried (Oil resulted from frying) | 195.25 ± 7.47c (1.47 ± 0.07) | 55.77 ± 1.87b | 1.17 |
Marinated | 258.23 ± 9.89a | 58.06 ± 1.66ab | 1.34 |
The average values on the same row that do not share a letter (a,b,c) are significantly different, based on Tukey method and 95% confidence (p < 0.05).
