Industry: Processed surimi products manufacturing / Crab-flavored kamaboko and crab-flavored stick production
Challenge:
No in-house expertise for testing a crab-kamaboko production line using pangasius surimi as raw material
Unestablished mixing procedure (time, speed, temperature) with the silent cutter, making paste-temperature control difficult
Insufficient core-temperature control during resting (holding) and baking after molding, resulting in uneven product quality
Industry
Processed surimi products manufacturing / Crab-flavored kamaboko and crab-flavored stick production
Challenge
No in-house expertise for testing a crab-kamaboko production line using pangasius surimi as raw material
Unestablished mixing procedure (time, speed, temperature) with the silent cutter, making paste-temperature control difficult
Insufficient core-temperature control during resting (holding) and baking after molding, resulting in uneven product quality
Solutions
Basic Recipe Development Guidance Designed optimal ratios of pangasius surimi, binders, and seasonings and systematized the formulation as internal knowledge
Mixing Procedure Design & Training Manualized silent-cutter mixing time, speed, and paste temperature (15–20 °C) and conducted hands-on staff training
Resting & Baking Temperature Control Guidance Established conditions to maintain product core temperature at 70–75 °C after molding, ensuring uniform wrapping and baking quality
On-Site Operational Improvements Defined checkpoints for mixing, molding, and resting processes and introduced a daily checklist to improve reproducibility
Results
Eliminated quality variability and improved yield by ~10%
Achieved stable production from startup through standardized manual operation
Enabled autonomous on-site operation and completed technology transfer
