Today, red caviar is no longer uncommon and can be bought in almost every store and at a given price. But with the growing popularity and availability of this product, the number of fakes on store shelves has increased. Therefore, it will be very useful to know how to recognize as possible at home, which lies on your desk: a real red caviar or fake.
How to determine the authenticity of the product?
In the market, we can most often meet the red caviar of the family of salmon: Kets, pink salmon, salmon and trout. But sometimes manufacturers for the sake of savings instead of fish caviar make fake caviar from algae. Of these, agar, alginate and agaring, of which are preparing jelly in the form of iconic. The desired color appears after adding the edible dye, and the taste after fish oil.
Fake caviar is not considered dangerous for health, because in the composition of algae a large number of iodine, and fish oil often take as a food additive. However, buyers often want to get a real caviar to their table, and not its substitute, but sometimes not to the end read labels or composition.
Packaging Product
A detailed study of the packing of caviar while choosing a store will help not spend your money on the fake.
- We choose only glass or tin tanks, because genuine caviar will not be sold in plastic packaging.
- We inspect the integrity container: there should be no chipping, cracks, swirling.
- We are looking at the packaging date of manufacture and shelf life. Caviar can't be kept for more than 12 months.
- A little shaking packaging. If the boulock is heard, the product can be frozen more than once.
- We study the manufacturer and kind of fish. Red caviar with Sakhalin and Kamchatka can only be collected from June to September during the spawning of fish.
- We study the label for compliance with the quality of GOST, the presence of a sign of "Icra" and the fishery index "P".
Product Cost
The cost of red caviar can also be an indicator of its quality and authenticity.
- The average cost of one kilogram of red caviar with Kamchatka and Sakhalin is 2 thousand rubles.
- Icra on the differences is always more expensive. 100 grams will cost approximately 300 rubles, and 250 grams of 800 rubles.
The high cost of the product is not an indicator of its quality, but it is not worth buying a caviar if the price for it is frankly understated.
Appearance of the product
After buying caviar, you can immediately appreciate it in appearance.
- Carefully consider eggs. A real red caviar looks like separate smooth and transparent eggs that can be easily separated from each other.
- We look at the color. It should be bright, but natural. Caviar can be both orange and allay, depending on the fish.
- We pay attention to the Icrinka Center. A kernel should be seen from each of them. If there is no or not visible, then there is a high probability that the caviar is made of third-party products.
Now in stores you can meet the products of the most different quality and price category. When choosing a red caviar on the counter without careful check, it is impossible to say a hundred percent, whether it is original. But given the parameters described above, you can reduce the likelihood of buying an unreal caviar.
