ELECTIVE
Apply post-mortem technological knowledge to animals from nature and aquaculture farms. The research developed in the area of products of animal origin is carried out with regional products and includes freshwater fish from Amazonian rivers and those from fish farming. Research is carried out on the conservation of fish on ice, salting and drying of fish muscle, hot and cold smoking, production of equipment suitable for the different processing of fish. The study of the use of filleting residues and fish that have lost their quality for consumption is also carried out, with the aim of transforming them into fish meal for animal feed and making use of the extracted fish oil. Elaboration of delicatessen products from low commercial value fish muscle, adding value to minced (mechanically separated meat), which is one of the most recent activities.
