HOME » News » GLOBAL INNOVATION FOR SALT ANALYSIS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY: BIOFISH 7000 SALT, POCKET-SIZED, DIGITALIZED AND SUSTAINABLE SENSOR

BIOFISH 7000 SAL is a unique device because it is connected to the cloud, faster, more accurate, versatile in the sample to be measured, and quantifies salt by measuring sodium, a real factor of interest for consumer health.

Although the launch is focused on the fish and crustacean sector, this technological solution, the expansion of its application to other food segments is already underway.

Following the success of its solutions for the quantification of histamine in fish and sulphite in crustaceans, BIOLAN launches BIOFISH 7000 SALT, a revolutionary technology that aims to become a reference in SALT analysis in all segments of the global food industry.

BIOFISH 7000 SALT is an easy-to-use potentiometric instrument that allows to determine the amount of salt -by sodium quantification- in less than 2 minutes at any point of the value chain. The portability, the fact that it does not use hazardous reagents, the speed, the accuracy and the wide range of measurement matrices make it a very competent tool, but if you also add the versatility to be able to quantify other parameters of interest such as histamine or sulphite in the same device, it makes it unmatched.

Indeed, the device is capable of measuring in a wide variety of matrices covering fresh, cooked, canned, canned fish, salted anchovy, fish meal, and crustaceans. With BIOFISH 7000 SALT, salt concentrations of 0-15%, or 0-6000 mg Na+/100g, are quantified.

The determination of salt in fish, besides being a factor that determines the quality of the fish, is also important for the health of the consumer, since a high level of sodium in the diet is a risk factor for arterial hypertension.

In addition, salt is commonly used in the routine handling of fish, in order to prevent and control diseases, in its preservation, or when transporting it. It is not only the fish sector that is the target market for this product, since practically all food segments will benefit from having the BIOLAN tool to quantify salt, because its application will be deployed in other segments such as meat, beverages, dairy products, bakery products, etc.

The objective of BIOLAN is, once again, to facilitate the actors involved in the processing, conservation, and decision making along the entire value chain, resulting in increases in competitiveness, efficiency and profitability for the fishing industry.

During the 23rd, 24th and 25th of April, BIOLAN participates in the Seafood Expo Global fair in Barcelona, where the new SALT development has been announced for the first time, located in BOOTH Nº 3FF901 in HALL 3.
