Abstract
Fish mince and surimi are valuable seafood products that enhance global food production, sustainability and economic growth. Fish mince is mechanically separated flesh, while surimi is a refined, protein-rich concentrate. Both the seafood products are processed from underutilized species, that reduces waste and maximize the efficiency of resources. The processing of such products relies on the specialized equipment like mechanical deboner, fish meat separator, fish washer, rotary screen dehydrator, washing system and decanter centrifuge along with freezing and blending technologies that ensure product quality and stability. This review highlights the role of key equipment involved in the production of fish mince and surimi production in order to improve yield, food safety and sustainability while fulfilling the growing demand of high-quality seafood globally.
