Seafarers INC and their love for Seafood<\/h2>\n

In a much regulated climate in the USA as well as the rest of the world, there is a quest for efficiency in processing as well as increasing revenue through new product development in different food sectors. This is no different for the seafood industry. Controlling pathogens, extending shelf-life, looking for best quality products is a top-of-mind issue for manufacturers and processors. Through the years, the seafood industry has adopted different technology and methods for various products.<\/p>\n

HPP has been at the forefront of new ways to preserve fresh products. As well as to eliminate pathogens such as vibrio, salmonella, listeria, etc. It also takes about 10% of all HPP production worldwide.<\/p>\n

There are several companies that have adopted HPP for seafood processing in the United States, Canada and worldwide. The first one to install was Ocean Choice International in 2002 to extract lobster meat. Since then, many have followed the steps for several purposes and the versatility High Pressure Processing can bring to their products.<\/p>\n

Seafarers<\/a> was founded in 1999 and has continued to grow since then, making themselves a main player in the seafood industry.

HPP as a solution for Seafood Processing<\/h2>\n

High Pressure Processing<\/a>\u00a0(HPP) is an innovative technology for food preservation through the application of extremely high pressures (6,000 bar \/ 87,000 psi), to inactivate pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms that are in food. Unlike classic techniques, such as pasteurization, this cold process keeps intact the organoleptic properties of food, and its content in nutrients and vitamins. All while offering a fresh product with a longer shelf life without the need to use additives.<\/p>\n
