Fish and seafood rapidly lose natural fluids and tend to oxidative rancidity, hence they are highly sensitive to both processing and storage conditions.

Haifa's food phosphates ensure optimal water retention, improve yield, prevent oxidation and inhibit microbiological spoilage and rancidity development. Furthermore, they preserve flavor, color and texture.

Haifa's food phosphates also provide incremental binding in minced products such as fish balls and surimi.
