Approximately 3,000 tonnes of brine prawns are consumed in Norway and it is of great importance to the Norwegian computing industry if we can increase the Norwegian share of this. The Norwegian market has to a small extent been offered brine shrimp produced from Norwegian raw materials, which has been a contributing factor to the pellet industry encountering difficulties. Imports of peeled shrimp can be carried out without obstacles and large catches in Canada and Greenland have meant that the market is dominated by such shrimp. In addition, the retail market is characterized by great variation in quality from the cheapest varieties, which mostly consist of pieces of hand-peeled shrimp that are sold at very high prices. In between on this quality ladder, it must be possible to find space for shrimp of Norwegian origin produced in Norway. In order to obtain sufficient knowledge about the quality of the products available in the market, Rekeforum wishes to perform a sensory analysis of some selected products. In addition, a preference test with a selected group of consumers will be able to provide answers as to which properties of brine shrimp are preferred. The project was carried out by Matforsk on behalf of FHL. 6 different products from Norwegian suppliers were tested sensory and produced in a consumer test with 116 consumers from Follo and the Oslo area.
