Infos

This book seeks to address the challenges facing the international
seafood industry via a two pronged approach: by offering the latest
information on established technologies and introducing new ideas
and technologies. An introductory chapter sets the tone for the
book by presenting the background against which fish processing
will exist in the near future. Chapter two looks at the
environmental and sustainability issues relating to conventional
fish processing, including processing efficiency and better use of
the outputs currently considered wastes. The impact of
mechanisation and computerisation on environmental sustainability
is also addressed. Subsequent chapters examine the latest
developments in established fish processing technologies such as
canning, curing, freezing and chilling, with an emphasis on the
environmental aspects of packaging and the process itself. In
addition, quality and processing parameters for specific species,
including new species, are described.

The second part of the book gives authors the opportunity to
introduce the potential technologies and applications of the future
to a wider audience. These include fermented products and their
acceptance by a wider audience; the utilisation of fish processing
by-products as aquaculture feeds; and the use of by-products for
bioactive compounds in biomedical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and
other applications.

Rezensionen

"The book lays the groundwork for assessing seafood
sustainability beyond the harvesting sector to encompass whole
industry segments in the future. The authors present a fine
academic analysis of both the potential and limits of the LCA
approach, given basic disagreements on the definition of
sustainability; appropriate inclusion and measurement of
environmental impacts; and the role of regulations, costs, and
acceptance by industry, consumers, and the public."
