The issue of freshness in the seafood business is not a luxury, rather a demand. The quality of fish and shellfish deteriorates as soon as these are harvested, with enzymatic processes and the growth of bacteria. As a countermeasure to this, there is the need for reliable cooling systems and flake ice machines have become a game changer to any seafood business in any part of the world.
The Importance of Freshness in Seafood
Seafood is also extremely perishable where the development of off-flavors, texture loss and even spoilage could be exhibited with even minute changes of temperature. Freshness impacts:
Taste and Texture - The proper cooling is a way to preserve the natural flavor and firmness of seafood.
Safety - Bacteria grow slower at lower temperatures and this minimizes the chances of food poisoning.
Market Value - The high-quality and fresh seafood are desirable since they attract higher market value and customer confidence.
This is what flake ice excels at its soft moldable nature gives a very high surface area of contact and the cooling effect is very quick and even but it does not damage the delicate sea foods.
Why Choose Flake Ice Machines?
The benefits of using flake ice are that it is the most suitable ice variety used in storing and transportation of seafood due to the following reasons:
Better Cooling Efficiency - Flake ice is fast cooling, which can bring seafood down to near freezing point (about 0 o C/32 o F).
Soft On Products - Flake ice does not crush or bruise fish and shellfish unlike hard ice.
Good Coverage - small, dry flakes cover holes so that there are no hot spots in storage containers.
Greater Shelf Life - The shelf life is lengthened by slowing down the processes of oxidation and dehydration.
