Mussel Processing

The need for mussel processing

Deliver fresh and effective products by increasing edible portion and reducing the loss rate.

The edible portion of shellfish is 40% to 60% of the shellfish area, which is considerably discarded depending on eating habits. In general, the rate of reduction is about 5-10% in food supply (weight at the time of release) during the distribution process, which is 2 to 5 times greater in distribution than other foods.

1.

Purification of shellfish: Prevention of contamination from bacteria

Warehousing2 Warehousing2

2.

Wet storage of shellfish: Optimizing and extending the freshness and survival time of shellfish by minimizing moisture reduction

Warehousing3 Warehousing3

3.

Basic Stage of Shellfish Processing: Subsequent Phase Automation Work Ease, Labor Reduction Basic Work of Uniform High Quality Production

03. Watering
Watering1 Watering1

1.

After completing the first cleaning work, watering is performed in the cold refrigerator for more than 12 hours.

Watering2 Watering2

2.

Minimize shellfish stress until the product is released through watering.

Watering3 Watering3

3.

Mussels remain alive and consistent throughout the factory through cooled seawater purified by UV filters.

04. Fine byssus Removal and Cleaning Operation

1.

Pre-removal of fine fbyssus and suspended solids left on the surface of mussels prior to screening to eliminate marine pollutants generated during distribution while efficiently conducting inspection, packaging and processing steps.

2.

The mussels, which have been separated, are inspected through a conveyor.

05. Screening and Inspection Operations
Screening and Inspection Operations1 Screening and Inspection Operations1

1.

After moving to the conveyor, mussels that are not commercially available will be selected and sent to the next process through the inspection process

Screening and Inspection Operations2 Screening and Inspection Operations2

2.

Only commercial and fresh mussels are processed by selecting broken or dead mussels.

MAP Packing

What is the gas substitution method?
flowchart

A method developed as an improvement to vacuum packaging refers to changing the composition of air in packaging containers that are packing products to slow breathing and delay air pollution by enzymes.

With advanced processing methods, we can increase the shelf life by up to a week to see fresh mussels in the sea as they are at the table. (The product is alive for up to seven days!)
