Questions about transportation and storage of sea cucumbers Seafood Multi-use temperature data logger with LCD display
The sea cucumber is an invertebrate marine creature with high nutritional value. It is highly appreciated by consumers in China, Japan, and other Asian countries. The suitable temperature range for sea cucmbers growth is between 15°C and 18°C and when the temperature exceeds 26°C and persists for more than 10 days, massive mortality would occur in farmed sea cucumbers. However, fresh sea cucumber is easy to autolyze and difficult to be transported and stored for a long time. Thus, the sea cucumber storage and transportation method after harvest is a big challenge for the industry and it has a great influence on the processed sea cucumber quality.
Freezing is considered the easiest way to preserve food for the long term. However, collagen degradation, tissue softening and WHC decrease occur in the sea cucumber during frozen storage . Live sea cucumber storage and transportation are believed to be the most ideal way. At present, some live sea cucumber storage and transportation methods have been developed to overcome autolysis. At the same time, temperature monitoring during transport and storage is important for sea cucumbers.
