I. Customization Core: Personalized Raw Material Selection to Meet Diverse Needs

1.1 Customization of Raw Material Specifications

Purchasers can customize squid raw material specifications according to target market needs: weight range (200g-500g optional), cutting form (strips, chunks, whole squid, etc.), and part selection (squid body, squid tentacles, squid rings, etc.). Tan Food is equipped with intelligent sorting equipment to ensure the uniformity of customized specifications, with an error of no more than 5%.

1.2 Customization of Raw Material Origin and Quality

Supports directional procurement of raw material origins (such as deep-sea areas of the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean), and can provide raw material qualifications such as organic certification and sustainable fishing certification. For special needs, raw material testing items can be strengthened, such as special heavy metal testing and allergen screening, to ensure the product meets the access standards of the target market.

1.3 Customization of Functional Raw Material Addition

According to purchasers' needs, functional ingredients can be added during raw material processing, such as low-salt formulas (salt content adjustable from 1.5% to 2.0%), high-calcium fortification, vitamin supplementation, etc., or adapted to religious dietary standards such as Halal and Kosher. The raw material formula is traceable throughout the process.

II. Process Customization: Precise Adaptation of Parameters from Marination to Sterilization

2.1 Customization of Flavor Marination

Provides multi-dimensional flavor customization: basic flavors (original, spicy, garlic, tomato sauce, etc.), regional characteristic flavors (Southeast Asian curry flavor, European black pepper flavor, etc.), and taste intensity adjustment (light, medium, strong). Marination time (adjustable from 2 to 8 hours) and seasoning ratio can be iteratively optimized according to sample taste until the demand is met.

2.2 Customization of Roasting Process

Customizes roasting parameters for different taste needs: temperature (adjustable from 100℃ to 140℃), time (controllable from 10 to 25 minutes), which can achieve various taste effects such as crispy, soft glutinous, and charred aroma. Adopts segmented roasting technology to avoid local overcooking or undercooking, ensuring the stability of customized taste.

2.3 Customization of Sterilization and Packaging
