Microwave heating is a multiphysics phenomenon that involves electromagnetic waves and heat transfer; any material that is exposed to electromagnetic radiation will be heated up. This study was performed to compare the effects of microwave heating and conventional cooking method on proximate nutrient and health promoting contents of fresh Baim Fish (Mastacembelus armatus) grown in Bangladesh. The moisture and ash content in raw Baim fish were 74.00% and 4.00%, respectively. After conventional cooking moisture and ash content were 77.00% and 4.00%, respectively. On the other hand, after microwave cooking moisture and ash content were 75.00% and 4.00%, respectively. The protein content in raw Baim fish was 15.60% and after conventional cooking this value was 12.07%, whereas 15.60% for microwave cooking. In this study also estimated the fat and carbohydrate content which changed significantly by both conventional cooking and microwave cooking.
