Prawnfresh is a safe and easy-to-use non-residual product that controls the onset of melanosis in wild-caught and farmed prawns. This results in prawns that have a much longer shelf life, which in turn increases their market value.
Prawnfresh is much safer to use and more effective than sodium metabisulphite, which only masks the melanosis – in effect bleaching it out. Sodium metabisulphite does not deal with other issues related to the degradation of shellfish, resulting in prawns that are often of poor quality and suffer from malodours and short shelf life. Sodium metabisulphite is corrosive and can cause serious and expensive damage to plant and equipment in processing factories. There is well-documented evidence that the uncontrolled use of sodium metabisulphite can also affect the health of processing operatives.
