On February 16, at the Agropishcheprom Scientific and Production Center, as a continuation of the food quality control program, a tasting of canned fish “Natural saury” and “Saury with added oil” was held.
Canned fish have been adding variety to our diet for a long time, and sometimes they replace fresh fish for us, but let’s try to figure it out how successful it is.
Based on the results of laboratory tests, all samples met the requirements of industrial sterility, and in terms of the content of toxic elements also complied with the unified sanitary-epidemiological and hygienic requirements for products (goods) subject to sanitary-epidemiological supervision (control) and the Sanitary-epidemiological rules and regulations "Hygienic Requirements to the safety and nutritional value of food products. SanPiN 2.3.2.1078-01”, therefore, all samples are safe for the consumer. Canned food was purchased from popular retail chains: Auchan LLC, Lyubimye Produkty LLC, O’KEY LLC, Tander CJSC (Magnit store chain), Iceberg shopping center.
A tasting commission was formed, with Candidate of Agricultural Sciences Artem Yurievich Chukhlantsev acting as the main expert. Together with his assistants - canning industry technologists - Marina Yuryevna Pavlova and Tatyana Aleksandrovna Govorova, Artem Yuryevich compiled a tasting program during which the criteria for assessing the organoleptic characteristics of products were discussed, after which the experts were able to begin assessing the visual attractiveness of the samples and the tasting itself.
Employees of the Research and Production Center were asked to evaluate the quality of canned food, among them Mikhail Ivanovich Boldyrev, professor, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Agropishcheprom Research and Production Center.
A wide range of tasting samples, which has become a tradition at the Agropishcheprom Scientific and Production Center, included 22 items, of which 11 samples were “Natural saury” and 11 samples “Saury with added oil”.
Despite the fact that all samples meet the indicators for the content of toxic elements, comply with uniform sanitary-epidemiological and hygienic requirements for products, already on the first sample of saury, experts were faced with an unpleasant reality - the presence of acanthocephals - acanthocephalans - in canned food Echinorhynchus gadi and Radinorhynchus trachuri, which most often affects saury. Acanthocephalans are localized in the intestines of fish, sometimes in significant quantities. They are quite large in size, up to 13-35 mm in length and 0.7-0.9 mm in width, and have a long proboscis armed with hooks, with which they attach to the intestinal walls. Since the intestines are removed when cutting fish, these helminths no longer pose any danger to humans. When preparing saury for canning and cutting it into pieces for putting in jars, sometimes violations are made by poorly washing the fish or leaving part of the intestines, and in such cases acanthocephalans end up in the canned food. When opening the jar, red acanthocephalic helminths are found in the oil right on the surface of its contents. When purchasing such canned goods, customers usually return them to the store. It is necessary to discard significant batches of canned food if, when opening the cans, more than 8 specimens of acanthocephala are found in the surface layer of oil. To prevent acanthocephalans from getting into canned food, veterinary and sanitary control over the cutting of saury must be carefully carried out. When preparing it for canning, it is necessary to completely remove the intestines of the fish and thoroughly wash the carcass, which guarantees the preparation of canned food of good quality, without the presence of helminths - acanthocephalans. It is worth noting that the first sample was not the only one.
Due to the fact that in the following samples of canned food: “Natural saury” of the brands “Dalmoreprodukt”, “Primrybsnab”, “Saury with added oil” of the brands “Trading House Sea Commonwealth”, “Dobroflot” (smoked in oil), “ Primrybsnab" acanthocephalans were discovered, experts rejected them as not corresponding to organoleptic indicators, as a result of which they were not evaluated.
The remaining samples were assessed on a 5-point scale.
Unfortunately, not all canned foods fully satisfied the requirements of organoleptic evaluation.
"Natural saury"
"Natural saury"
The leaders in the tasting of natural saury were three samples of canned food:
Pacific saury natural Trade mark "MAYAK" - 4.18 points. Manufacturer: LLC APK "Slavyansky-2000", shelf life 24 months. Net weight 250 g. Natural saury Trademark “Every Day” - 4.06 points. Manufacturer: Balt-Fish Plus LLC. Shelf life: 3 years. Net weight 240 g. Saury in its own juice Trade mark “FORTUNA” - 4.05 points. Manufacturer: Golden Prize Kenning Co Ltd. Thailand. Distributor in the Russian Federation: Mistral Trading LLC. Shelf life: 4 years. Net weight 185 g. Net weight of the main product 130 g.
But, all canned food - the tasting leaders - have minor deviations from labeling standards.
The sample that scored the lowest number of points was Pacific saury natural Trademark “Sea Inside” - 3.74 points. Manufacturer: JSC Yuzhmorrybflot, plant No. 13, Nakhodka. By order of Aquator LLC. Shelf life 36 months. Net weight 240 g.
"Saury with added butter"
"Saury with added butter"
Natural Pacific saury with added oil Trade mark “DOBROFLOT” became the most distinguished product for its high level of quality, it scored 4.21 points. Manufacturer: ZAO Yuzhmorrybflot. Made at sea from freshly caught fish. Shelf life: 3 years. Net weight 245 g. This type of canned food has become a leader with a decent lead over its competitors. The following steels in terms of quality are: Pacific natural saury with added oil Trade mark “Tasty canned food” - 3.8 points. Manufacturer IP Dunin G.E. Fish canning plant No. E-90. Shelf life: 24 months. Net weight 185 g. Saury with added butter Trade mark “Sea Inside” - 3.74 points. Manufacturer: PRDP Preobrazhensky Fish Factory CJSC, Primorsky Krai. By order of Aquator LLC. Shelf life 36 months. Net weight 250 g.
The sample that lags behind the others according to the results of the examination was natural Pacific saury with the addition of oil Trademark “UNIMARKA” - 3.28 points. The products are made from frozen raw materials. Manufactured by Golden Prize Canning Co. LTD. Importer to the Russian Federation is Brigantina LLC. Shelf life: 3 years. Net weight 230 g.
All other canned goods were rated within 3.3 - 3.7 points, and correspond to organoleptic indicators with minor deviations. The labeling on some cans has shortcomings, the most common of which are: an unreadable label, lack of a mark on the expiration date and storage conditions after opening the consumer package.
Summing up the results of the tasting, the expert commission formulated several basic recommendations for choosing canned saury natural and saury in oil. Standing in front of the counter in a store, you shouldn’t pay attention to the most beautiful, bright and expensive cans of canned food. After all, neither an attractive design nor a high price guarantees the consumer that there will be no “pleasant” surprises in the jar, for example, acanthocephali - acanthocephalans, which, despite their safety for food consumption, not only spoil the appetite with their appearance, but also in the body of which heavy metals accumulate. Experts from SPC "Agropischeprom" do not recommend consuming such products as food; it is better to dispose of the jar. In addition, it is worth paying attention to where the products are made; the closer the production is to the places where saury is caught or the production is located directly at sea, the higher the likelihood that the quality and freshness of the raw materials will be.
And of course, after opening the jar, pay attention to the color, smell and consistency of the canned food. If you feel an unpleasant odor or the color of the filling is too dark with a lot of sediment or an unnatural shade, if red-orange worms - acanthocephalans - are visible on the surface, if when putting the fish out of the jar it breaks down a lot and has a bitter, unpleasant taste - it is better not to eat such products. SPC "Agropischeprom" continues its food quality control program and has prepared for you a lot of interesting and useful information about what is on the shelves of our stores!
Back in the distant 70s, canned saury became more popular than sprat, and at the same time was sold at a very affordable price. Decades later, natural Pacific saury also often ends up on the dinner table, and you can still buy it for a reasonable price.
Benefits for humans
The beneficial properties of this fish lie in its rich vitamin and mineral composition (contains Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, as well as iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, fluorine) and are confirmed by many studies in Russia and abroad. Canned Pacific natural saury is recommended by nutritionists to be consumed regularly for a balanced diet.
Description and Application
It is worth noting the “correct” calorie content of canned food, they perfectly saturate the body and satisfy the feeling of hunger, and do not contain carbohydrates, that is, they are safe for the figure. Canned saury is often added to homemade soups and salads, baked into aromatic pies, served as a snack, and also used to make fish cutlets. Thanks to proteins of natural origin, canned natural saury is perfectly digestible and does not cause excess weight.
We offer seafood
We produce canned fish on the high seas in order to preserve all the beneficial properties of Pacific fish, eliminating the need to freeze raw materials for subsequent transportation.
We supply canned Pacific natural saury wholesale and retail throughout the Russian Federation, where you can buy products under the Dobroflot brand at the price from the manufacturer.
