Belachan Powder

Belachan Powder is a natural extract obtained through a fermentation process of shrimp. The version offered by Baitshop is manufactured in Malaysia, in compliance with the highest quality standards (GMP/HACCP), originally intended for the food industry. The fermentation process is entirely natural, with shrimp and salt being the only ingredients. This process results in a significant amount of pre-digested proteins and amino acids, easily detectable by carp. Additionally, fermentation generates organic acids with proven efficiency, the most notable being N-Butyric acid.

In terms of molecular protein mass, Belachan Powder is similar to protein hydrolysates used in aquaculture. However, its taste differs significantly. Unlike a protein hydrolysate, which may have a slightly bitter taste due to the production process, Belachan Powder stands out with an intense shrimp flavor and aroma, significantly enhanced by fermentation. As a result, its use greatly increases the palatability of baits.

The product has a solubility rate of over 60% and remains effective regardless of water temperature. It is easily soluble even in cold water due to its low fat content. It comes in the form of a gray-brown powder with a pronounced crustacean odor. Remarkable results have been achieved when Belachan Powder was used in spicy fishmeal mixes, both individually and in combination with the block form. It can also be successfully used in bird food or milk protein mixes.
