Start year 2022 End year 2024 Funding (€) € 1,133,700 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901762/ Summary The purpose of the project is to contribute to the sustainable further processing of Atlantic mackerel in Norway for a year-round production of consumer packaged heat-treated products, based on both fresh and thawed raw material. This is to be done by solving specific technological and production challenges so that Vikomar, together with its partners, and the Norwegian pelagic industry can strengthen its competitiveness against low-cost countries by producing high-quality products from Norway. The project will contribute to strengthening the market opportunities for Norwegian-produced mackerel fillets by expanding the product portfolio.
Main objective:
To develop and improve existing technology for efficient and quality-preserving production of 3 to 4 product variants of heat-treated mackerel fillet, based on fresh and thawed raw material for year-round production.
Sub-goals:
1. To map the most important product characteristics of further processed mackerel fillet (from fresh and thawed raw material).
2. To design and adapt production equipment, process and technology for year-round production in Norway.
3. To implement technology and process so that the further processed mackerel fillets can be produced, frozen, stored and thawed without quality downgrades.
4. To document the maximum durability during freezing and cold storage of the selected product.
