[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Fisheries Food Industrialization Technology Support Center at Gyeongsang National University held a seminar inviting field experts under the theme "Understanding and Application of Food Tech Industry Technology Tailored for the MZ Generation" at the College of Marine Science, the center announced on the 5th.

Lee Jung-seok, Deputy Director of Gyeongsang National University RCIDS, said, "This seminar was organized to explore ways to apply the experiences of field experts related to the food tech industry in the process of developing home meal replacement (HMR) seafood processed products."

Jang Deok-gyu, Vice President of Food Tech Downji, explained, "Novish, a Dutch food manufacturing company, sells seafood processed products made from plant-based protein, and Open Meals in Japan is planning to produce health-oriented sushi using consumer big data through 3D printing. Food tech is rapidly establishing itself in the seafood food sector as well."

He also stated, "It is necessary to apply the latest food tech methods to product development, such as automating the processing technology of seafood processed products for the MZ generation and converting big data on the age-specific characteristics and preferred foods of the MZ generation."

Lee Jae-woo, Director of Yam Table, in his presentation titled "Current Status of Automated Fillet Processing for Live Fish and MZ Generation’s Preferred Live Fish Processed Products," said, "In response to the increasing market dominance of imported salmon fillets in Korea, it is meaningful to introduce automated fillet processing for representative domestic farmed seafood and to replace agricultural and livestock food materials that the MZ generation enjoys with seafood to make HMR products."

Center Director Kim Jin-soo said, "It was a good opportunity to hear about the current status and prospects of food tech from the perspective of field experts," adding, "We plan to actively apply new process development to the 'Commercialization Research of HMR Seafood Processed Products Tailored for the MZ Generation' promoted by the center."

This seminar was held with the support of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ project for customized technology development in the seafood food field (Project title: Development and Commercialization of HMR Seafood Processed Products Applying New Process Technology to Enhance MZ Generation Preference).
