Savour Solutions all natural preservative interventions have once again shown themselves to be effective in controlling spoilage. This time in the aquaculture industry.
The collaboration with Stellenbosch university in a study to increase the shelf life of tilapia (an important protein source in Sub- Saharan African countries) has shown that our interventions are able to double the shelf life of the tilapia (from 7 to 14 days).
As you can imagine – this has massive implications for Africa. Quoted from the attached report on this study – “In Sub-Saharan Africa, up to one-third of total fish production is lost post-harvest, translating into USD 2-5 billion in annual financial losses.” The conclusion says it all…”Savour Solutions™ treatments demonstrated clear potential in extending the shelf-life of fresh tilapia by slowing microbial spoilage …”
Once again – we are on the cutting edge of food preservation!
