Helping the seafood sector

We provide a range of technical support for the fish and sea food sector to help them in the supply of safe, high quality fish and sea food products. To ensure that quality is maintained, we can image and measure the structure and appearance of products, and have a team of highly experienced food tasters who can evaluate flavour, odour and texture characteristics. Authenticity of products is another major area where we can help the industry.

Safety, of course, is vitally important to this sector. Amongst the tools to ensure safety are shelf life trials, challenge tests against Listeria, Clostridium botulinum and other pathogens, Vibrio detection and confirmation testing, and the detection of histamine-producing bacteria. We can also look at the effects of super chilling on product safety, and advise on the risks of norovirus.

And if you are looking to develop new products, we can help there too, with pilot-plant scale-up facilities, as well as nutritional analysis and legal advice.
