Ingredients and additives play a significant role in the production of canned fish, oils, and fish flours. These products require specific ingredients and additives that are carefully selected to meet specific performance and safety criteria.
Here are some of the ingredients and additives commonly used by our clients in the production of canned fish, fish oils, and fish flours:
Antioxidants, such as vitamin E and rosemary extract, are used to prevent the oxidation of fish oil and extend its shelf life.
Natural colorants, such as paprika extract and turmeric, are used to enhance the appearance of fish flour and fish oil.
Emulsifiers, such as lecithin and gum arabic, are used to improve the texture and stability of fish oil.
Gelling agents, such as agar and carrageenan, are used to thicken fish cans and give them a gelatinous texture.
Flavors and spices, such as lemon, garlic, and dill, are used to enhance the taste of canned fish and fish oil.
In addition to these ingredients and additives, MTI Africa also provides special ingredients for the canned fish, fish oils, and fish flours industry, such as plant-based ingredients, organic ingredients, and “Clean-label” ingredients. By providing a comprehensive range of ingredients and additives, MTI Africa helps its clients produce canned fish, oils, and fish flours that meet international quality requirements.
