Royal DSM has launched new technology Digital SalmoFan to accurately measure the colour of salmon fillets throughout the value chain.
Digital SalmoFan is a portable, user-friendly device measuring the colour of salmon fillet according to a numeric scoring system. The innovation builds upon the DSM SalmoFan and SalmoFan Lineal, which are used throughout the global salmon industry to measure fillet colour.
It will be made available to companies across the salmon industry value chain, from feed producers, farmers, to processors and retailers.
“By introducing Digital SalmoFan, DSM enables the entire value chain to measure fillet colour (at scale) accurately and objectively. Farmers, feed producers, processors and retailers can now move their pigmentation programmes into the digital era, optimising colour management and being able to capture greater value from fillet colour. One language of colour, any time, any place,” said Fabio Cervellione, Director Nutrition & Health Solutions Aqua Global at GO Johnsen.
Digital SalmoFan features include:
- Portable, compact, and easy to use anywhere, without any light interference
- Objective and accurate measurements expressed as a SalmoFan score
- Bluetooth connection to smartphones and tablets, generating an on-screen SalmoFan score
- Digital SalmoFan app gathers, stores and shares data collected from colour measurements
