Seafood and Aquatic Products

Ice Machine Application, Seafood Preservation and application prospects-Ⅰ

First, the market prospect of ice machine in seafood and aquatic products

In 2017, China produced 69 million tons of aquatic products, of which 51.56 million tons were farmed and 17.44 million tons were caught. Benefiting from population growth, urbanization and consumption upgrading, the consumption of aquatic products will continue to increase, and it is estimated that the consumption of aquatic products will reach 75 million tons in the next five years. Aquatic seafood from fishing, production, transportation and retail are inseparable from preservation. With the growth of seafood demand, the application of ice machine in seafood will continue to expand in the future.

Second, what is the application of ice machine in seafood and aquatic products

1. Ocean fishing of Marine products

At present, China's annual fishing volume of seafood is 17 million tons, the second largest in the world. Fishing boats usually go out to sea for 3 to 60 days. If they go out to sea for a long time, the fishing boats need to install the Marine ice maker or carry ice cubes, and use ice chips to quickly freeze seafood to keep fresh and keep the taste of seafood well. It is currently the best way to keep seafood fresh.

2. Frozen transportation of aquatic seafood

Seafood transportation time is as short as half a day or a few hours, as long as one or two days or half a month by sea. No matter the length of time needs to control the transport temperature, to achieve the purpose of preservation. For example, closed incubator car or ordinary container car, adding borneol or ice to achieve the purpose of cooling and preservation, is currently the seafood wholesale to retail link, the common way of preservation.

3. wholesale and retail preservation

Seafood taste good, nutritious, rich in protein, consumers love. Aquatic seafood retail preservation is also very important, preservation quality directly affects the price and taste of seafood. For example, supermarket aquatic preservation: the ice table covered with ice, and then seafood spread on the ice, is the most common retail preservation method at present, can not only keep fresh and convenient for consumers to buy, this preservation method can well retain the taste and taste of seafood.
