Start year 2010 End year 2013 Funding (€) € 308,370 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900518/ Summary The size of today's herring catches places very high demands on production and freezing capacity, and limits the possibilities for optimal product differentiation. The quality of the country raw material varies. It often consists of catches from several casts, and it will thus have different ages and storage history. Unfortunately, there is no price differentiation on freshness and quality. Companies have little opportunity to use quality criteria when buying, but must "take what they get", and are often referred to make quick decisions regarding. which raw material is chosen for different products (whole, flaps, fillet). The industry acknowledges that approx. 20% of fillet products are characterized by one or more quality problems.
This project aims: 1. To document connections between catch, on-board handling and processing and the occurrence of quality deviations on the herring fillet.
2. To obtain an overview of manufacturers 'and various markets' requirements and quality grading of products.
3. To use instrumental methods, based primarily on digital photography / image processing, as well as spectroscopy, to quantify color properties, presence of blood (spots), gaping and dissolved muscle.
