- Viability of producing functional foodYap, Julio P. Jr. (Panay News, Inc., 2018-07-27)The production or processing of functional food is becoming one of the fast growing segments of the country’s food industry. Functional food contains both essential nutrients and health promoting non-nutrients. However, fish sauce and other fermented food products may not be considered functional food due to their high salt content. Fortunately, a project of the University of the Philippines (UP) Visayas was able to produce fish sauce which is derived from mussel. Since this kind of fish sauce is low in salt, it can be a potential functional food and ingredient.
- A new technology to boost mussel productionYap, Julio Jr. (Panay News, Inc., 2017-06-11)Majority of the mussel farmers in the country have been using the conventional stake method for their mussel production. It is said that from this method, which have been practiced locally for many years, could produce up to 150 sacks per hectare only. As a substitute for the traditional stake method, mussel longline culture technology was introduced to help the farmers improve their yield. The technology could also produce superior quality mussels, and reduce siltation in mussel beds.
