The impact of technological innovation and modernisation in the productive and extractive sectors to achieve the levels of competitiveness and sustainability that the global market requires, is undeniable.
Nowadays, in order to be competitive, it is not enough to achieve maximum productivity, unthinkable cost savings, or efficiency levels never seen before. The key to competitiveness in the extractive fishing sector, aquaculture or seafood canning industry, as in any other field, lies fundamentally in the valorisation of the quality and guarantees of the product by the final customer, in order to prioritise it over the huge offers that arrive every day.
The challenge must be to achieve solid and long-term customer loyalty. And this, in a global market and focused to reach important shares in international markets, requires us to ensure that the product arrives in optimum conditions and complies with the legal requirements of each destination.
And it is in the seafood quality and safety sector where so many factors influence and condition a satisfactory final result, which forces the industry to implement procedures that facilitate optimal and efficient control of the resulting product. It is in this field that technological innovation must play a fundamental role, trying to respond to the needs in the productive or extractive fishing systems.
In this sense, the technology suppliers must guarantee that the innovative solutions comply with the reliability and precision required by the operational process.
Biolan
Biolan Microbiosensores, a Basque biotechnology company, as technological supplier to the food industry for more than ten years, from the beginning has been aware of the difficulty to provide technological products with an absolute guarantee.
As a world leader in the application of biosensor technology to the monitoring of food quality and safety, Biolan dedicates great efforts to accredit the precision, reliability and repeatability of its based-on biosensors for quantifying analyses in food.
A biosensor is based on a biological detection element coupled to a physical-chemical transducer that converts the biological signal, originated by the interaction between this detection element and the analyte, into a quantitative result. Biolan Biosensors combine the high specificity and selectivity of specific enzymes with an amperometric transduction of the signal, easily detectable and quantifiable.
Based on this biosensing technology, Biolan has progressively developed new applications for the food industry, such as the BioFish line that offers biosensors for the quantification of histamine in fish and sulphite in crustaceans, in a precise, fast and simple way, at any point in the production, processing or commercialisation chain.
