Product Development and Formulation for Cured Fish & Tuna Sausages
As part of a specialty product R&D project, I developed a natural fish sausage using underutilized cuts of local fish. The focus was on flavor concentration, clean labeling, and a fermented curing process that delivered rich umami without additives. I oversaw the entire process—from ingredient sourcing and recipe formulation to curing trials, texture adjustment, and shelf-life testing—creating a distinctive, scalable product with both retail and restaurant potential.
