Tilapia production is increasing annually. It is now one of the major species produced in aquaculture in the Philippines, (DA-BFAR 2001) as well as in region 2. Currently, tilapia is usually consumed as fresh and only small amount of the total supply is processed into different products. Employing appropriate processing technology and developing value-added products from tilapia is therefore necessary to increase economic returns from tilapia production.
