Abstract

The effect of household smoking, as carried out with three commercially available smoke boxes, on the infestiveness of Diphyllo-bothrium latum was investigated. The temperature changes in fish during the smoking were measured and the effect on tapeworm larvae estimated on the basis of a lethal temperature/time exposure of 56°C/5 min. For all the boxes smoking treatments sufficient to destroy the tapeworm larvae are suggested. The obtained results confirm the conclusion, made in previous studies on other heat preparation methods of fish, that well cooked fish in which all the parts have been subjected to a 56°C/5 min. exposure is safe with regard to the risk of Diphyllobothrium latum infestation.
