Description:

This up-to-date survey covers selected but vital aspects of fish processing with emphasis on quality, technology and nutraceutical applications. The aspects of seafood quality addressed range from the impact of slaughter procedures, through protein functionality, texture, flavor, histamine toxicity to the key aspects of practical evaluation of quality and measurement of fish content. Technological aspects concentrate on automation in fish processing, waste water treatment and possible uses for value added products from fish waste. With respect to novel applications of the marine resource, the important areas of marine nutraceuticals / functional foods are discussed in detail. This book is…
