FISH SAUSAGES ANYONE?


If you look up Mahasarakham University on Google Earth you may notice it is very far from the sea and would therefore have very limited availability to sources of fresh fish. This is not so.
In northeast Thailand there is a large and thriving freshwater fish and prawn industry. So much so you could say fish and prawns may be described as a staple part of the Isan diet. In many locations you can dine outdoors in the middle of a pond on a bamboo platform on stilts with your dinner swimming live underneath you among the blooming lotus.
Commercial agricultural entrepreneurial company Thanapol Foods Ltd in conjunction with MSU Department of Food and Nutrition have been busy innovating this rich fish resource.






On July 6 at the MSU Conference Center Thanapol Foods Ltd in collaboration with MSU Faculty of Technology Department of Food and Nutrition launched their new product named Green Diamond sausages.







Green Diamond sausages are result of exhaustive scientific research and development studies led by Dr Suwan Angkana of MSU’s Department of Food and Nutrition. The team explored the best physical characteristics of fish species and fishmeat content  to find and develop a successful fish sausage recipe.

 The product was also aided by the MSU Business Incubator program and has attracted research support from the National Office of Science and Technology.
