Canned Tuna
its success in banana chips export notwithstanding, Celebes continues to
engage in tuna fishing and processing. At present, the company process
an average of 100 tons of raw fish daily. Celebes has outfitted its fish
processing plants with the necessary facilities and machinery to respond
to high and low market demands. The demand for tuna fish continues to
increase because of the proven beneficial effects of marine products,
particularly tuna, when regularly consumed. Canned tuna is used widely
in making tuna sandwiches, salads, tuna pasta, and others. Making fish
an essential part of their diet is a must because of its proven health
benefits. Tuna is an excellent source of high quality protein, vitamins and
minerals and is low in saturated fat. Canned tuna is a healthy staple in the
diet for more than 100 years.
The processing starts with tuna being transferred to the thawing tanks in
preparation for initial cleaning of the tuna. Then it is loaded into metal
racks, which are wheeled into large steam pressure-cooking retorts. Tuna
is baked for a prescribed time and temperature, depending on the size of
the fish. This steam baking removes the natural tuna oil which is too
strong in flavor to remain in the fish and prepares the tuna for the easy
removal of skin and bones.
Then it is moved to a room for cooling. Once cooled, it is forwarded to the
cleaning tables where edible meat is separated from skin and bones. The
cleaned loins are moved to the canning process. Cans are automatically
filled with tuna and move in a single line from the filling machine to the
vacuum sealer. Then the cans of tuna receives the measured quantity of
salt, vegetable broth, water or oil. Lids are then automatically clinched on
the top of the can before entering the vacuum sealer, where the air is
withdrawn and the lid is sealed. The cans then passes through a water
bath for cleaning of oil residue and then are placed back into the retort.
After cooking at the desired temperature, the sterilized canned tuna is
removed and allowed to cool and are then labeled.
