Importance of Emerging Technologies in Processing and Preservation of Seafood

Abstract

This review provides information about the type of emerging technologies used for the processing and packaging of seafood. The quality of food is always a top priority and a farm-to-fork process which is designed and implemented to get highly safe food. The success factor for the process includes the time, temperature, and chemical reactions involved in different stages of the processing and packaging. Moreover, unwanted changes in the product would have to be minimized to obtain final products of desirable quality over time. Seafood is widely used and exported in different countries which comes with potent health hazards. To control these hazards, emerging technologies came into existence which are now being applied in the packaging sector for seafood. These technologies were discussed in this work.
