SUMMARY:

The fish production chain has a consolidated and organized Agroindustrial System (SAP), composed of different sectors that allow the production, improvement, processing and commercialization of this food. However, for more than a century, the presentation of products on the market has been the same, fresh, frozen, salted and dried, smoked and canned, needing to keep up with consumption trends in terms of product diversification, in terms of presentation and practicality in its preparation and healthiness. In this context, this research aims to develop a tool (analytical method) based on the TRL (Technology Readiness Level) metric to characterize the levels of scientific and technological maturity of fish products developed by research projects within the scope of the Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology from the Institute of Technology at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, with an emphasis on Fish Technology. The study was based on a descriptive and exploratory applied research. Using bibliographical research, case study, and data collection through the application of questionnaires containing semi-structured questions, and analyzes of examples of referenced material. Through the construction of a checklist questionnaire, a TRL calculator model was proposed, adapted for the food segment with an emphasis on fish technology, in addition to the construction of a tool understanding guide, validated by researchers in the area of food science and technology. The results were evaluated through the application of four methodological proposals: 1) proposal according to NBR ISO 16290:2015; 2) proposal based on the TRL calculator model, according to Rocha (2016); 3) strong proposal taking into account the functional criticality of the tool's elements; and, 4) proposal suggested by the author of weighted weights taking into account elements and life cycle of the tool. The proposals were analyzed through their application in projects in the food segment developed by the PPGCTA – UFRRJ with an emphasis on the area of fish technology. The results indicated that the best model for using the tool in the food context with an emphasis on fish technology was the proposal developed in this work, efficiently demonstrating the degree of maturity of the evaluated projects. Through the identification of the best method of application of the results of the tool, the index of technological adherence was established to measure the development of the tool from the identification of factors related to the execution of the analyzed projects. Finally, the tool can contribute to the progress of research, development and innovation project activities, which can help researchers in making decisions regarding the development and transition of the projects studied and the opportunities existing in the market.
