Description
Sustainable seafood sourcing preserves protein integrity and omega‑3 fatty acids through immediate refrigeration, slow thawing, accurate labeling, and ecosystem‑friendly fishing practices.
Technical
Low‑temperature storage (0–4 °C) inhibits psychrotrophic bacterial growth and stabilizes EPA/DHA, while controlled thawing (4 °C for 12–24 h) prevents enzymatic browning and proteolysis. Rapid thawing above 20 °C accelerates protein breakdown, leading to texture loss and reduced nutritional value.
