Maintaining Freshness: Preserving Quality at Every Step

• Jun 30, 2026

Freshness is one of the most important factors in determining the quality of seafood products. For both buyers and consumers, fresh seafood not only delivers better taste and texture but also reflects proper handling throughout the entire production process.

At PT Alter Trade Indonesia (ATINA), preserving freshness is an essential part of every stage of production. From harvest handling to processing, every step is carried out quickly, hygienically, and in accordance with food safety standards to preserve the natural quality of black tiger shrimp.

 

Proper Handling from the Moment of Harvest

The journey to maintaining premium quality begins as soon as the black tiger shrimp are harvested from the ponds. Time is a critical factor, as product quality depends greatly on how the shrimp are handled immediately after harvest.

To preserve freshness, the harvested shrimp are immediately placed in ice-filled cool boxes. This rapid cooling process helps maintain a low temperature, preserving the shrimp's freshness, texture, and overall quality before they enter the processing stage.

 

Hygienic Processing with Strict Quality Standards

Once the shrimp arrive at the processing facility, they undergo a series of carefully controlled procedures in a hygienic production environment.

From raw material receiving, washing, sorting, and processing to final production, every stage is conducted in compliance with internationally recognized food safety standards. Consistent quality control measures are implemented throughout the process to ensure every product meets the high expectations of customers around the world.

This commitment plays a vital role in maintaining customer confidence in every product delivered by ATINA.

 

Locking in Freshness with IQF Technology

To preserve the highest product quality, the shrimp are processed using Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology. IQF rapidly freezes each shrimp individually, helping lock in freshness, preserve its natural texture and flavor, and minimize product damage during storage and transportation. By using IQF technology, consumers can enjoy black tiger shrimp that maintain their optimal quality even after being distributed to markets around the world.

 

Through prompt post-harvest handling, hygienic processing practices, and the application of IQF technology, PT Alter Trade Indonesia (ATINA) is committed to delivering premium-quality black tiger shrimp to customers across the global market.

Every step reflects our commitment to preserving freshness, maintaining quality, and providing seafood products that customers can trust.
