In recent years, there has been a transition to more and more people cooling the fish in alternative ways. Developments in vessel technology have meant that larger boats use the boat's hold, where the fish are stored in chilled recycled seawater. Other boats use specially made containers, where you put the fish in a mixture of ice and seawater, ice and fresh water or ""slurry ice"" (liquid ice syrup made from seawater). In addition, the ""slurry"" ice can be used in boxes or tubs where the water is drained away from the fish. For fish caught along the coast, the storage time on board is relatively short, compared to vessels that fish out on the banks of the North Atlantic and the Barents Sea.
The amount of drip loss depends on a combination of time and temperature in the early post-mortem phase. It is therefore essential to ensure the best possible cold chain from capture all the way to the consumer.
Main goal:
To document drip loss for cod, pollock and haddock that has been chilled on board from unloading, via storage and transport until production.
Sub-goals:
• To prepare a knowledge status in the area.
• To prepare a guide for the industry based on the research results on expected drip loss under various cooling and storage conditions with proposals for measures to limit drip loss.
• Documented drip loss for:
− raw material that has been cooled either in RSW, CSW (chilled sea water) or ice slurry before unloading from a fishing boat
− raw material that is delivered round and gutted/caped
− industrial full-scale storage trials with raw material frozen in vats or boxes
