RECENT ADVANCES IN FISH
PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA
Presented by:
Sushri Subhasini
PhD research scholar
Fish Processing Technology
History of Food Preservation
Frozen shrimp/fish
 In commercial practice, prawns are frozen in different forms -
Whole, Headless shell on, Peeled and deveined, cooked and
peeled, peeled and cooked, peeled deveined and cooked.
 The material is frozen in trays at -35°C to 40°C in contact plate
freezers/tunnel freezers, after which it is dipped in ice water to
give a thin coating of ice, wrapped in polythene paper and packed
in waxed duplex cartons.
 The shelf life of block frozen glazed prawns at -20°C will vary
from 24 weeks to 40 weeks depending upon the species and type
of pack.
IQF products
 There is good demand for individually quick frozen (IQF) prawns in international markets.
 For preparation of IQF products, belt freezers, fluidized bed freezers or liquid nitrogen
freezers are to be employed.
 IQF products require special care during processing, packaging, storage and transport. It is
very difficult to glaze IQF prawns and when packed without glazing, the chances of
desiccation are more.
 During storage and transportation too utmost care has to be taken to maintain the proper
temperature otherwise the material will get partially thawed and will stick together forming
a lump.
Value addition in fish processing technology:
 Fish oil capsules:
 Value addition is an expanding sector in the food processing
industry, especially in export markets.
 Fish oil is a form of fatty acid that is derived from the tissues of
oily fish.
 It contains the omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoi acid (DHA).
Surimi
 Surimi is prepared from the mechanically deboned, washed (bleached) and
stabilised flesh of fish.
 "It is an intermediate product used in the preparation of a variety of ready to
eat seafood such as kamaboko, fish sausage, crab legs and imitation shrimp
products.
 Surimi-based products are gaining more prominence worldwide, because of
the emergence of Japanese restaurants and culinary traditions in North
America, Europe and elsewhere.
Advances in fish Processing technology
Irradiation
 Process in which food products are exposed to a controlled
amount of radiant energy such as gamma rays /electron beams.
 Uncharged electromagnetic radiations emitted from exited
nucleus of radioactive elements such as 60Co, 137Cs etc.
 Gamma rays have excellent penetration power and penetrate
almost anything -can penetrate food up to a depth of 20 cm and
effective as bactericidal agents.
Retort pouch processing
 As in canning, retort pouch food is sterilized after packing, but
the sterilizing procedure differs. The pouches are processed in an
over pressure retort.
 The time and temperature will be standardized depending on the
product. With the availability of retort pouches it can function as
an excellent import substitute for metallic cans.
Extrusion
 Extrusion cooking is used in the manufacture of food products such as ready-
to-eat breakfast cereals, expanded snacks, and pasta, fat-bread, soup and drink
bases.
 The raw material in the form of powder at ambient temperature is fed into
extruder at a known feeding rate.
 The material first gets compacted and then softens and gelatinizes and/or melts
to form a plasticized material, which flows downstream into extruder channel.
Basically an extruder is a pump, heat exchanger and bio-reactor that
simultaneously transfer, mixes, heats, shears, stretches, shapes and transforms
chemically and physically at elevated pressure and temperature in a short time.
Institute of fish processing technology
 The Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFT) is an autonomous
organization engaged in research related to fishing and fish processing in India.
 To conduct basic, strategic and applied research in fishing and fish
processing.
 To develop designs for fuel efficient fishing vessels and fishing gear for
responsible fishing.
 To develop technologies for commercial isolation of bioactive compounds and
industrially important products from fish and fishery wastes.
 To design innovative implements and machineries for fishing and fish
processing and pilot plants for facilitating commercialization of technologies
developed.
 To do advanced research in food safety in fish and fishery products.
National Institute of fisheries Post
harvest technology and training
 The Institute has its Head Quarters in Cochin and a unit in Visakhapatnam.
 Technology development and transfer to beneficiaries consisting of rural
fishermen community, small scale industries and Export Processing Houses
through consultancy and job work.
 Imparting training in the field of post-harvest technology, refrigeration
technology, Quality control and value added products.
 Providing consultancies and training for rural development programmes /
women empowerment programmes in fish processing, supporting local fish
farmers, self-help groups of fisher community, fishermen’s cooperative
societies functioning under Panchayath Raj Institution.
CONCLUSION
 Providing food security to global population is a challenging task.
Aquatic foods play a vital role in addressing issue of Food &
Nutritional security.
 Product diversification, value addition, increasing exports and
reducing post-harvest losses can contribute to economic growth
and to reduce hunger in the world. Consumers demand high
quality processed products with minimal changes in nutritional
and sensory properties.
