Sous Vide in Seafood: A Novel Approach to Modern Processing Techniques
Ankures Bhattacharya*, Supratim Chowdhury and Asik Ikbal
Abstract
Seafood's short shelf life is due to its high-water activity, neutral pH, and rich nutrient content. Sous vide technology, originating from the French phrase "under vacuum," is a method of cooking in which fish and fishery products are sealed in vacuum-packed bags and cooked at precisely controlled low temperatures over extended periods. Vacuum packaging prevents recontamination, oxidation, aerobic bacterial growth, and moisture loss while preserving aroma compounds. However, the anaerobic environment may promote the growth of spore-forming pathogens. This review aims to explore the current state of sous vide technology applied to fish and fishery products. It highlights its benefits, such as enhanced texture, flavour preservation, and retention of nutritional quality. Additionally, the paper examines the potential challenges associated with sous vide cooking, such as microbial safety and packaging concerns, while also offering insights into future research opportunities and commercial applications.
