Additives for crustaceans 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 stabilize the properties of shrimp, prawns, crayfish, lobster and other crustaceans during storage, handling and marketing, ensuring that they reach the consumer in optimal conditions.
Melanosis:
Melanosis is an oxidative process that crustaceans undergo and causes the blackening of the shell, mainly in the cephalothorax. With the application of our antimelanosics, the blackening of crustaceans can be avoided.
Moisture loss:
During the storage, handling and distribution process, crustaceans 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.
Useful life:
From the moment crustaceans are removed from their natural habitat, a deterioration process begins that reduces their shelf life. By applying our additives, the shelf life of crustaceans can be extended.
Frostbite:
During frozen storage, crustaceans can suffer from freezer burn if they are not properly protected. By applying our glazes, freezer burn can be avoided.
Others:
Challenges that crustacean producers may have and that can be solved by applying our products
We offer a wide range of additives for crustaceans that optimize the freshness, texture and preservation of the product.
