Super chilling of fish
In order to ensure the product temperature in distribution, prechilling to temperatures 1 to 2o C below initial freezing is used. This will give the product a refrigeration reservoir during distribution.

Expected results:

  • Improved quality/longer shelf life
  • Reduced costs for transportation
  • Less environmental impact (Reduced amount of contaminated drip water)

Aim:

To develop a concept called ColdStep for production and transport of farmed Salmon based on Super Chilling, through:

  • Examine the effect from short term Super Chilling on quality and shelf life
  • Development of methods for calculating and measurement of temperatures in Super Chilling
  • Find effective technical methods and equipment for large scale Salmon Super Chilling
  • Development of principles and safe transport methods /equipment for Super Chilled products.
