Mobilt verktøy for å måle filletkvalitet

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The visual appearance of salmon fillets is crucial for consumers and an important quality parameter for farmers. Different markets have specific requirements for fillet redness, which is influenced by fat composition and pigments like astaxanthin. In recent years, pigment levels in Norwegian-farmed salmon have declined, reaching record lows in 2020. Measuring color and fat accurately is essential for documenting the effects of feed on fish quality. Current methods, like chromatography, are costly and time-consuming, requiring specialized labs. AKVA group aims to develop a portable tool that enables farmers to monitor fillet quality on-site throughout the production cycle, ensuring a premium product at harvest.
