  • Cold Chain in Seafood Industry
    COLD CHAIN IN SEAFOOD INDUSTRY Alex Augusto Gonçalves1, Ph.D and Francisco Blaha2, MSc. Abstract: When seafood is freshly caught eating quality is high, but over time quality will deteriorate and eventually will become unsuitable for consumption. Maintenance of the cold chain and careful handling are a fundamental part in minimizing seafood spoilage. The cold chain in seafood industry is a temperature chain and begins once the seafood is caught. From the quality and regulatory perspective fresh seafood means that has been stored at 0°C and for frozen seafood it means –18°C or colder (from the sea to the consumer). The cold chain is broken every time the temperature of the seafood rises above 1°C. Fluctuations in the cold chain increases quality loss, these losses cannot be reversed by any means after the event. There are many avoidable and unavoidable occurrences that cause fluctuation in the cold chain. Good chilling and/or freezing practices on board harvest vessels are a condition sine qua non for maximizing the best possible quality of all seafoods. Best practices on seafood handling and the minimization of temperature fluctuations are paramount for seafood distributed under refrigeration (i.e., chilled and/or frozen) to maintain its quality and maximize its shelf–life. The present chapter addresses some of the developments in seafood cold chain under four mainly headings: i) cold chain in seafood industry; ii) selected aspects of refrigeration (chilling and freezing) process (including equipment and storage conditions); iii) safety and shelf–life issues in seafood cold chain; iv) regulation and legislation. 1.

    International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management (IJREAM) ISSN : 2454-9150 Vol-03, Issue-07, Oct 2017 Design and Fabrication of Slurry Ice Generator Vikas K Tawde Department of Mechanical Engineering, Vidyavardhini’s College of Engineering and Technology, Vasai, Mumbai, India. Abstract: This paper proposes the Design and Fabrication of a slurry ice generator which produces slurry ice, a mixture of water and ice wherein the ice is in the form of spherical crystals of about 0.1 to 1mm in diameter. It provides 3 to 4 times better cooling compared to flaked ice owing to larger heat transfer area. Slurry ice finds application in food preservation especially in the fishing industry. In India, flaked ice is used for seafood preservation. Introduction of slurry ice in the fishing industry will result in better quality of produce. This paper is focused on the design calculations and the selection of proper components wherein the conventional ice scraper is replaced by an Archimedes’ screw to eliminate the use of circulation pump. The refrigeration system works on a simple vapor compression cycle. Ice crystals are formed on the inner surface of shell and coil type evaporator, and, scraped by the Archimedes’ screw.

  • A Revolution in Food Preservation Why Flake Ice Doesn’T Work Anymore…
    A REVOLUTION IN FOOD PRESERVATION WHY FLAKE ICE DOESN’T WORK ANYMORE… Modern consumers have become extremely aware of how important food quality is to their nutrition and way of living. Therefore, they continue to demand food that is fresh, of higher quality, and delivered quickly to the market. This puts seafood harvesters, aquaculture producers and processors in a position where they need to adapt, but don’t have the right means to preserve harvest for long periods of time. Although it is the cheapest option, flake ice cannot do the job anymore as it: • damages the product surface and causes breakage • leads to shrinkage and weight loss The increasing demand • and creates an environment for bacteria to cause for better and fresher food quicker product spoilage. puts an even stronger pressure on aquaculture All that decreases the product value and minimizes the producers and food profit margins aquaculture manufacturers and food processors. processors need to scale in the long run. …AND SLURRY ICE DOESN’T SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER Liquid ice solutions, like slurry ice, use small ice crystals to absorb heat from fresh products. Usually, they have good flow properties and are easily distributed. As slurry ice creates a uniform contact with the product surface, it’s often considered an improvement over flake ice. However, this is only partial. Slurry ice still lacks the deepest level of cooling transfer to products, which may lead to spoilage. Sometimes, this results in seafood harvesters, aquaculture producers and processors to use additives in the preservation process, which is the opposite of the consumer demand for more organic, preservatives-free products.

  • Chapter 10 Priority Programs and Projects
    The Project for Community-based Sustainable Development Master Plan of Qeshm Island toward “Eco-Island” Final Report CHAPTER 10 PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS 10.1 Selection of Priority Programs and Projects 10.1.1 Establishment of evaluation criteria The projects and programs are proposed in the sector development plan of the ECO-QESHM Master Plan. Among these projects and programs is a set of priority projects, which have been selected by scoring the candidate projects in relation to the evaluation criteria. The candidate projects are the projects and programs that should be commenced in the short term until 2021. They will be preferably completed in the short term, but timing of their completion can be expanded to the medium term until 2026 and the long term until 2036. The evaluation standard is established to reflect the development objectives proposed in the ECO- QESHM Master Plan. The development objectives include four aspects, namely, the economy, the environment, society and human resources. The evaluation standard also includes urgency as shown in Table 2.1.1. Evaluation criteria are constructed as broadly as possible for each evaluation standard. The objectives of establishing the criteria this broadly are to avoid missing out on important requirements for the priority projects. Even though the criteria overlap with different evaluation standards, the overlapped criteria are considered to be representative of the significance of such criteria in order to achieve the vision behind the eco-island development. The evaluation criteria for economic enhancement constitute the creation of job opportunities, livelihood improvement and regional economic growth. The promotion of export products, logistics and direct investment are also included in order to meet the role of the free zone (FZ) on Qeshm Island in terms of economic enhancement standards.

The objectives were to: i) review current fisheries practices in the Near East and North Africa region; ii) examine case studies of best practices to identify suitable options for the region; and iii) identify policy-level and operational-level interventions to improve food security and income generation by reducing losses and waste. The conference identified various tools and practices that would reduce fishery losses and waste through the generation of accurate baseline data and loss-reduction initiatives. Case studies of best practices in five countries were considered, after which group discussions focused on: i) best practices for minimizing post-harvest losses and waste; ii) improved utilization of fishery by-products to minimize waste; iii) approaches based on value chains for minimizing fishery losses and waste; and iv) best practices for managing fish bycatches and discards.
