Product development research, food safety tests

Thanks to its ongoing innovation, research and development operations, and the successful integration of the findings into the market, the company has long been a pioneer in the field of domestic food processing, including the processing of fishery products. It offered engineering and consulting services based on its own R+D+I activities (TEOR: 7112, 7490, 7022). The final unit of the plant, which contains a XXI. a food laboratory outfitted with instruments satisfying the criteria of the 20th century, was finished by 2019 during the development carried out within the framework of the MAHOP 5.3.1 project. The company also offers its market-based research projects related to the food industry. These projects are given below.

The Fishmarket Kft. has taken part in the following R+D+I projects during the past ten years as a consortium member or consortium leader:
Development of breaking points for complex competitiveness in the aquaculture sector, VKSZ 12-1-2013-0078 (http://www.oko2000.hu/vksz/index.html)

From January 2014 to December 31, 2017, The Fishmarket Kft. participated in the project as a consortium member. In order to develop technologies that can produce output products that fulfill customer expectations, comprehensive examinations of the processing technology of raw materials produced in the domestic aquaculture sector were done. The study led to the development of a new processing technique that greatly extends the shelf life and food safety of fresh fisheries products. appendix. The project's know-how was applied in a number of local processing facilities, and the company completed technological design contracts in Hungary and Uzbekistan. Along with technological advancements, several new domestic aquaculture products saw the completion of their development and production plans, the most popular of which are the SELFISH® fryable perch, SELFISH® spiced carp fillet, and African catfish fillet in DARFRESH® packaging. Numerous articles were released as a result of the project's study; a list of these publications can be found in the appendix.

NVKP-16-1-2016-0023 To improve the water and food safety of the fish product line, a new risk management model system is being developed ( https://happyfishhungary.hu/ , https://happyfishhungary.hu/videok )

KFI 16-1-2017-04 To stop the theft of marine and freshwater aquaculture products, quality-based solutions must be developed, put into practice, and introduced in fish processing.

Between 2018 and 2020, The Fishmarket Kft. conducted a research study with the goal of creating a quick and accurate molecular biology-based approach for identifying edible fish species in order to identify fake goods. The study team also conducted microbiological and instrumental sensory testing in parallel with the procedure in order to create an indirect method that may be used to determine the origin of specific species. An agreement was struck with numerous companies that distribute domestic fishing supplies for routine laboratory testing of their items as the technology developed in this way also became commercially viable. Publications from the project are also listed in the appendix.

Without the need for completeness, the following tests can be performed in our lab: determination of dry matter content, determination of brix degree, microbiological tests, DNA-based measurements, determination of amino acid composition, instrumental color measurement, determination of physical and chemical parameters, instrumental stock measurement, storage experiments, FT-IR examination, and various analytical analyses.
