We Maintain the Safety of Our Products with a Hygienic Packaging Process
Packaging has the most crucial role in ensuring seafood safety. Seafood safety is highly critical to maintaining the well-being of the products themselves. Hence, packaging must have been able to endure the pressure during shipping and material handling.
Seafood safety might be jeopardized if the packing integrity of seafood items is not properly maintained and evaluated. External elements, contamination, heat, physical damage, and other factors are all protected by packaging.
Thus, proper packaging ensures that seafood products are kept as safe as possible. For the sake of food safety, it’s become even more critical for seafood manufacturers to maintain package integrity. Let’s look at why proper seafood packaging is so important to food safety and business sustainability!
How Does Freezing Preserve Seafood Products and Keep It Safe?
Do you know that the spoilage of seafood occurs because it is not well-preserved, which in turn will lead to bacterial growth and loss of protein and fat? Hence why the best alternative to save seafood products from spoilage is to opt for the freezing method to keep frozen seafood products safe.
Freezing delays spoilage and keeps foods safe by preventing microorganisms from growing and by slowing down the enzyme activity that causes seafood to spoil. Major physical and chemical attributes that change during freezing and frozen storage in seafood products are color, texture, enzymatic activity, lipid oxidation, and ice crystal structural damage. As the water in the seafood freezes into ice crystals, it becomes unavailable to those microorganisms that need it for growth. However, most microorganisms, (with the exception of parasites), remain alive when frozen so seafood products must be handled safely before freezing, during freezing processes, and once seafood products are defrosted. The impact is not only for the seafood products themselves but also for the sustainability of your business.
Hygienic Seafood Packaging Process
As to preserve seafood products, the right packaging is needed. IQF technology is a major player in the packaging process of seafood products.
IQF technology is a method of freezing that involves rapidly freezing seafood products that are placed within the freezer while applying pressure or movement in order to ensure that even large quantities of seafood do not stick together during the process of freezing. This technology allows for the seafood products to be pressurized or shaken during the process of freezing. Through this process, each individual seafood product remains separate from its counterparts, ensuring safe and proper freezing and high-quality output.
Do you know that there are big impacts of using IQF technology? It’s reducing the plastic waste, higher quality seafood preservation allowing for large quantities of seafood products to be frozen at a time, and leading to a much higher rate of productivity in the production and distribution of seafood.
