Published on March 25, 2022

To develop healthy food products, based on sustainable fishing from Archipielago Juan Fernandez and San Antonio in Chile, to improve sustainable fishing consumption in children and their families.

The project identifies seafood products from the artisan fishermen of San Antonio and Juan Fernandez Archipielago in Chile, that are less known in the market, available all year round and need to improve their comercialization.

In base of this products, we develop prototypes of ready-to-eat foods that are attractive to children and their families. The prototypes are subjected to sensory and acceptability analyses on groups of volunteer families to develop with them the best products to reach the market. The proyect also provides equipment and training in nutrition labeling and packaging for srtisan fisehrmen.
