Seen by consumers as a healthy alternative to meat, fish and seafood continue to grow in popularity worldwide.
However, fresh fish and seafood present their own set of handling and safety challenges. They rapidly lose their original quality due to high water activity, neutral pH (ideal for microorganisms) and the presence of enzymes, which rapidly undermine both taste and smell. The breakdown of proteins by microorganisms quickly results in unpleasant odours.
