PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT OF FISH AND SEAFOOD

Phytosanitary treatment with accelerated electrons and X-rays makes it possible to solve the problem of providing the population with quality products.

In the process of product processing, ionizing radiation, passing through a product, breaks the DNA of pathogens, thereby destroying them.

The treatment process is environmentally friendly, as only grid electricity is used without any chemicals and radioactive isotopes of Cobalt-60.

FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY

Irradiating food has the same benefits as when it is heated, refrigerated, frozen or treated with chemicals, but without changing the temperature or leaving residues. The technique controls spoilage and food-borne pathogens or insect pests without significantly affecting taste or smell.

IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY
FOR SEAFOOD TREATMENT


Electron accelerators uses high energy of electrons and X-rays to eliminate pathogens, bacteria, helminths.
Operating principle of electron accelerator: electron accelerator generates and accelerates electrons to high speeds for penetrating the product and inducing breaks in the DNA of pathogens.
The temperature of irradiated seafood can vary from -32°C to +4°C. The products can be treated in any kind of packaging. No residual radiation left in the product as the treatment done with low irradiation doses.

Irradiation by electron accelerators uses high energy of electrons and X-rays to eliminate pathogens, bacteria, helminths.

BENEFITS OF SEAFOOD IRRADIATION

  • Reduction of pathogens.
  • Sterilization of products in hermetically sealed packaging, eliminating the risk of re-contamination and ensuring quality assurance for the entire shelf life of seafood.
  • The cellular and molecular structure of seafood is not affected. Nutritional elements (vitamins, proteins, fats, amino acids) are retained for the entire shelf life.
  • The reduction of antibiotics and hormones content in shrimps in addition to destroying all pathogens, etc.
  • No residual radiation.
