Developing novel and resource-efficient seafood processing technologies and producing innovative seafood products with exceptional texture and mouthfeel.
According to new data from Hailia, seafood products made with fish filleting sidestreams can contain 20 times more calcium, 5 times more marine collagen, twice the amount of iron, and 10 times more zinc per 100 g compared to salmon filet products.
Delegates to this year’s 100% Fish for Profit Conference can find out more from Michaela Lindström, CEO and co-founder of Hailia, who will be speaking in the “Enabling technologies for full utilisation” session.
Hailia is a leading seafood technology company for the utilization of sidestreams in food production and has studied the nutritional compositions of fish products made with sidestreams from salmon filleting, such as heads, fins, and frames. The results show that these products contain significantly higher levels of key nutrients like collagen, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and Omega-3 fats than typical filet products currently on the market.
Michaela, CEO and Co-founder, says, “Sidestreams have been valuable in cooking throughout our history, from broths to local delicacies, because they give good taste and contain high levels of healthy nutrients. Our data shows that these same raw materials can serve a much bigger purpose, not just as traditional ingredients, but as a natural source of nutrients like marine collagen that are increasingly sought after in global wellness markets in supplement form. By producing ready-to-eat products from these parts of the fish, we can offer people better nutrition in everyday foods, while reducing waste and creating more sustainable value from every catch.”
