Peeled prawns are a product with a wide range of applications and are used as an ingredient in many different products such as salads and sandwiches. These are often products that are distributed chilled and thus strict requirements are placed on bacteriological quality. To a lesser extent, the industry has been able to adapt the shrimp product to other applications and find new uses for shrimp. This is a task that will be very important to ensure a higher and more stable value for the final product.
One of the major competing products that has entered and taken market share is peeled shrimp of tropical species. What characterizes many of these species is that they are largely sold raw so that they are included as an ingredient in hot meals. For boiled peeled prawns of the species Pandalus borealis, there is an opinion that they become tough, dry and not very delicate if they are boiled or fried after thawing. Originally, peeling raw shrimp was what was done with the first pilling machines. Boiling was introduced at the request of Norwegian producers and thus the peeling of raw prawns became a forgotten chapter in Norwegian prawn history. However, there have been some scattered attempts to peel raw prawns without being entirely successful. One of the major challenges is to freeze raw peeled shrimp without forming lumps. Testing technology that makes it possible to start a stable production of peeled raw prawns will form the basis for starting the marketing of such prawns. This will open up new areas of application for shrimp so that shrimp can be sold to a larger market.
Attempts have been made with raw peeled prawns in the past without success in producing more than product samples. If it is now successful to use completely new technology for freezing prawns, it will form the basis for a more profitable production of peeled prawns. This will have an impact on the entire industry and all Norwegian companies will be able to use the technology. Raw peeled shrimp introduces a completely new application for shrimp that the market has shown interest in. In addition, this opens up the possibility of developing new products in completely new applications for the shrimp species Pandalus borealis.
Objective of the project : The aim of the project is to produce a sufficiently large quantity of frozen pilled raw prawns which will form the basis of a market test in Japan.
Sub-goal 1: Test of new production equipment for freezing raw peeled prawns.
Sub-goal 2: Carry out a market test in Japan
In the project, a completely new method for freezing raw peeled prawns will be tested in order to produce a product that is new for the Norwegian prawn industry. If this is successful, a trial batch of raw peeled shrimp will be produced and sent for testing to a number of users in Japan. Evaluation of the market test shall form the basis for calculating the profitability of starting such production, which can provide a new opportunity for the Norwegian shrimp industry."
