Area of Science:

  • Food Science and Technology
  • Packaging Science
  • Food Safety

Background:

  • Seafood's high perishability is due to water activity, pH, lipids, and nitrogenous compounds, necessitating rapid processing and packaging.
  • Consumer preference leans towards fresh, minimally processed seafood, posing a challenge for shelf-life extension.
  • Effective packaging is crucial for maintaining seafood safety and quality from processing to consumption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review innovative individual packaging technologies for extending fish and fishery product shelf life over the past decade.
  • To examine combinations of packaging technologies used as multiple hurdles for maximum seafood preservation.
  • To cover the relevant food packaging legislation impacting these technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific publications and industry reports from the last 10 years.
  • Analysis of individual and combined packaging technologies applied to seafood.
  • Examination of food packaging regulations pertinent to seafood preservation.

Main Results:

  • Individual technologies like modified atmosphere packaging, vacuum skin packaging, and active packaging (oxygen scavengers, antimicrobial agents) show promise.
  • Combinations of hurdles, such as active packaging with edible films or biodegradable coatings, significantly enhance shelf-life.
  • Intelligent packaging solutions (freshness, time-temperature indicators) offer enhanced monitoring and safety assurance.

Conclusions:

  • Innovative packaging strategies are vital for extending seafood shelf life and meeting consumer demand for quality.
  • Multi-hurdle approaches combining various technologies offer superior preservation potential.
  • Adherence to evolving food packaging legislation is essential for the successful implementation of these technologies.
