Fresh and frozen products

In recent years, we have seen an increased focus on the production and sale of fresh fish, for both the domestic and export markets. This poses challenges regarding quality and shelf life.

Nofima Marin has contributed to this work by documenting the effect and mode of operation of storage methods such as super chilling and modified atmosphere packing (MAP). Focus on quality is important to maintain the good reputation that Norwegian seafood has.

With respect to fresh products, an important topic has been quality control aimed at detecting defects such as bruising or parasites. Technology has been developed to automatically detect this type of quality defect in fish fillet.

The research activity connected to frozen raw materials covers quality assessment and evaluating the suitability of different types of processing.
