The study was carried out from surveys on processing methods of fresh fish into smoked fish in the production areas. It took place from September 2009 to March 2012 on three smoking sites Port-Bou^t in the South of Abidjan, lie Boulay, Abobo-Doum6 and Koweit in the South-West of Abidjan and Abobo-Macaci in the North of Abidjan. The main risk factors which were identified in the formation of PAH, are the stakeholders, the smoking sites, the technologies, the handling and the storing. The black color and bitter taste of the fish were identified as sensory indicators of PAH formation in smoked fish.展开更多
