Advances in Harvest and Post-Harvest Technology of Fishes


Book Description

In recent years there have been notable advances in the fisheries. Progresses made in refinements of vessels, new line materials and line-handling systems, preserving the catch, the availability of oceanographic-sensor equipments and the utilization of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds have greatly improved the fishing power of longline vessels. Post harvest technology of fish has evolved in the last one decade to a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and quality upgrading technology. Since fresh fish can get spoiled very quickly, the development of technology for post-harvest preservation and methodology to convert fish to value added products have also become popular in recent times. Value addition helps in getting high price for the fishery products. There is a need to develop competent human resources in the field of post harvest management of fish and production of value added products from them. It is required to inculcate vocational and entrepreneurial skills in order to widen employment opportunities, particularly among rural youth and the disadvantaged sections of the society as well as to enable self employment.

Code of Practice for Fish and Fishery Products


Book Description

The Codex Alimentarius, “the food code”, has a fundamental role in protecting consumers all around the world and ensuring fair practices in food trade. The Code of Practice for Fish and Fishery Products is the essential reference point for technical guidance on the harvesting, processing, transport and sale of fish and fishery products.




Postharvest Handling


Book Description

Consideration of the interactions between decisions made at one point in the supply chain and its effects on the subsequent stages is the core concept of a systems approach. Postharvest Handling is unique in its application of this systems approach to the handling of fruits and vegetables, exploring multiple aspects of this important process through chapters written by experts from a variety of backgrounds.Newly updated and revised, this second edition includes coverage of the logistics of fresh produce from multiple perspectives, postharvest handing under varying weather conditions, quality control, changes in consumer eating habits and other factors key to successful postharvest handling.The ideal book for understanding the economic as well as physical impacts of postharvest handling decisions.Key Features:*Features contributions from leading experts providing a variety of perspectives*Updated with 12 new chapters*Focuses on application-based information for practical implementation*System approach is unique in the handling of fruits and vegetables




Postharvest and Postmortem Processing of Raw Food Materials


Book Description

Postharvest and Postmortem Processing of Raw Food Materials, a volume in the Unit Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series, presents the processing operations and handling of agricultural crops, animal products, and raw food materials after their harvesting/slaughtering and entrance into food production factories. Chapters in this new release cover an Introduction to postharvest and postmortem technology, Primary operations in postharvest processing, Disintegration of raw agricultural crops, Disintegration with little changes in form (Husking, Shelling, Pitting, Coring, Snipping and Destemming), Disintegration with considerable changes in form (Cutting/dicing, crashing and grinding, Slaughtering, Shredding, Sheeting), and much more. Written by experts in the field of food engineering, and in a simple and dynamic way, this book targets all who are engaged in food processing operations worldwide, giving readers good knowledge on the basics of food engineering principles and applications. Thoroughly explores novel applications of postharvest/postmortem operations in processing food products Brings perspectives about the postharvest processing of different agricultural crops and postmortem processing of different animal meats Helps to improve the quality and safety of food products with postharvest/postmortem operations

Sustainable Fish Production and Processing


Book Description

Sustainable Fish Production and Processing is a unique resource that bridges the gap between academia and industry by analyzing new, state-of-the-art fish production, processing and waste management. The book explores general valorization methods, focusing on the extraction of high added-value compounds and their reutilization in different fields of the food and nutraceuticals industry. Sections take a comprehensive approach to understanding the most recent advances in the field, while also analyzing the potentiality and sustainability of already commercialized processes and products. This resource could be utilized as a handbook for anyone dealing with sustainability issues within the fish industry.Emphasis of fish production is given to food security issues, large marine ecosystems, aquaculture genomics, epigenetics and breeding, proteomics for quality and safety in fishery products, post-harvest practices in small scale fisheries, and lifecycle impact of industrial aquaculture systems. Emphasis of fish processing and by-products is given to industrial thawing of fish blocks, sources and functional properties of fish protein hydrolysates, recovery technologies and applications, potential biomedical applications, ready-to-eat products, fish waste for bacterial protease production, fish waste for feeding as well as lipid extraction from fish processing for biofuels. - Covers recent advances in the field of fish production and processing over the last decade, following sustainability principles - Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of relevant processes from various perspectives to improve sustainability - Offers practical success stories and solutions to ensure the sustainable management of fish processing by-products




Innovations In Fishing And Fish Processing Technologies


Book Description

The present book entitled “Innovations in Fishing and Fish Processing Technologies” highlights various aspects of fish genetic resources, advanced mariculture and ornamental fisheries covering major dimensions of harvest and post-harvest technologies in fisheries and fishery extension. It covers the whole gamut of innovative, advanced and cost-effective technologies dealing with recent trends in fish harvesting including responsible fishing, design of improved gears and trawls; development and standardization of various post-harvest techniques, value added product development, hygienic handling; techniques for extraction of biomedical, pharmaceutical and industrial product from aquatic organisms; developing nutraceuticals from rest raw materials; biotechnological approaches for fish disease diagnostic tools; quality management and maintaining food safety standards; design and development of tools and techniques for harvesting and storage of fishes; effective extension methodologies, value chain management and entrepreneurship development in fishery. The contents of this book will be highly useful for a wide range of stakeholders in knowledge management, research planning and policy formulations to address the vital issues in the domain of harvest and post-harvest fisheries and deal with the future challenges in the sector, which may help to propel the Indian fisheries to grow further.
