From Catch to Cuisine: Enhancing Fish Quality and Sustainability
This technology is a fish processing and preservation method involving the use of equipment such as solar tent dryers and smoking kilns. It addresses the challenge of fish's high perishability by improving shelf-life and enhancing taste and nutritional value. Solar dryers offer a low-cost alternative to refrigeration, and smoking kilns utilize smoke to kill microorganisms while drying the fish. These methods enable the production of various value-added fish products, providing economic opportunities, reducing post-harvest losses, and contributing to food quality and market appeal.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.
