Seafood is a nutritious food that is often processed to extend its shelf life and create new products. Common processing methods include drying, curing, smoking and canning. Newer techniques like Ozone treatment, Freeze-drying, High-pressure processing and Pulsed light technology are also gaining popularity. These innovative techniques offer sustainable and effective ways to preserve seafood and meet modern food safety standards.
