Daybrook Fisheries MENHADEN CONDENSED FISH SOLUBLES

• A pH value greater than 5.0 may cause fermentation of the condensed fish solubles resulting in quality deterioration.
• The acidity of fish solubles should be considered with respect to pumping and handling equipment and storage facilities.
• The product may contain and should be checked for sediment. Storage tanks should be stirred/circulated periodically by mechanical means. Never use air to stir solubles. 

Fish Solubles is a minor co-product as the overwhelming majority are added back to the fishmeal during the process.  However we have found that some customers have a high value demand for this both as an attractant for fish feeds or baits as well as a natural fertilizer for organic crops.  Fish solubles are actually an intermediate product made during the wet-rendering operation.  After cooking the fish and then pressing them we end up with an aqueous solution of water, dissolved proteins and fat.  After this is run through the oil separators the remaining “stick water” is sent to a series of evaporators to concentrate the product to a much thicker and higher protein product.  The product that is kept for sale is then mixed with acid to stabilize it for longer term storage to retard fermentation.
