Additives for cephalopods are products used to preserve or improve aspects such as appearance (colour, shine), sensory profile (flavour, texture, smell), shelf life or water retention, among others.
These products help to stabilize the properties of octopus, cuttlefish, squid and cuttlefish during storage, handling and marketing, ensuring that they reach the consumer in optimal conditions.
Moisture loss:
During the storage, handling and distribution process, cephalopods suffer a loss of moisture that affects the texture, flavour and overall quality of the product. With the application of our moisture retainers / moisturizers, this loss is minimized, preserving the freshness and juiciness of the product.
Oxidation:
Due to oxidation, cephalopods can change their appearance, turning to a more reddish colour, which is commercially unattractive. Our bleaches inhibit the oxidation process, providing an improvement in appearance and extending shelf life.
Acidity:
Squid (Dosidicus gigas) is a very acidic species by nature, which makes it an inedible product. With the application of our additives, the acidity can be corrected for later commercialization.
Cooking losses:
During cooking, high temperatures can cause octopus to lose its skin and characteristic color. With our additives, cooking losses can be reduced.
Others:
Challenges that cephalopod producers may have and that can be solved by applying our products
We offer a wide range of additives for cephalopods such as octopus, squid, cuttlefish and squid, which improve the quality and preservation of the product.
