Crustaxyl Zero is an allergen-free, blackspot inhibitor designed for cooked crustaceans. On numerous occasions, before carrying out the cooking processes, defrosts are carried out on imported products previously treated with sulfites. These treatments are not always homogeneous, as some batches may not come with the appropriate PPM’s of sulfites and melanosis may appear when thawed. In order not to increase the levels of sulfites, or to include some other antienzyme such as 4-HR, PH7 Food technology has formulated an additive based on antioxidants that guarantee that during defrosting, melanosis does not appear until it is cooked.
The application is very simple and effective. As a liquid additive, CRUSTAXYL ZERO is applied directly in both the defrosting and cooking water at the percentage recommended according to the technical data sheet and its protocol. The advantages obtained in this treatment are the following:
- Avoid oxidation and enzymatic browning.
- It does not modify the organoleptic conditions of the product.
- Maintains the original color and texture of the treated product for longer.
- Prevents the appearance of brainstorming that are usually common in other types of antimelanotic reinforcement treatments.
- Unlike other sulfite-free additives, it provides intense shine while maintaining the integrity of the eyeball.
