Packaging of Fresh Non-Fish Biological Resources: Crustacean, Molluscs and Seaweed (a Review)

Science and Technology

One of the efforts to maintain food security is the use of packaging. Food packaging is very important with the aim of maintaining its shelf life and maintaining its quality. Non-fish biological sources are all types of organisms other than fish which all or part of their lives are in the waters, including crustaceans, molluscs and seaweed. The existence of a container or wrapper can help prevent or reduce damage, protect the product in it, protect against the dangers of pollution and physical disturbances (friction, impact, vibration). Non-fresh fish packaging must have a principle that can maintain its quality well into the hands of consumers. The most important properties of the packaging include gas and water vapor permeability and the surface area of the packaging. Packages with good gas resistance and smaller surface area lead to a longer shelf life of the product.
