Freeze-chilling involves freezing and frozen storage followed by thawing and chilled storage. It offers logistical benefits like year-round production and product availability, as well as improved food safety. The study was performed in an industry setting comparing two different thawing procedures...

The choice of packaging is of importance for quality and shelf life. The fishing industry uses large quantities of plastic to protect their products. Several biobased and biodegradable packaging materials have recently appeared. In this study, application of a biobased packaging material for frozen...

Seafood is an important source of the world’s food supply and demand is growing. More and more seafood is being sold frozen, which extends the shelf life and creates more sustainable transportation options. Depending on the type of product, different freezing methods and equipment are used with a...

Unprecedented demand for critical energy transition metals will expand global mineral supply and reshape commodity landscapes. We discuss the opportunity for demand signals to discern the nature of supply development and create incentives for sustainable production in the long term. We focus on...

Food-web structure determines the cycling pathways and fate of new production in marine ecosystems. Herbivorous zooplankton populations are usually seasonally coupled with pelagic primary producers. Synchrony of phytoplankton blooms with reproduction, recruitment and seasonal ascent of their main...

Umbilical cables are essential components of subsea production systems for deep sea oil and gas exploration. Umbilical cables are often set to specific configurations that compensate for the motion of the floating body resulting from harsh environmental loads during operation to ensure structural...
