The effect of round shrimp post-catch age on the frozen shelf-life
characteristics of processed cooked meat was evaluated. Refrigerated
shrimp, one, three, and five days post-catch, were cooked,
mechanically peeled, frozen at -29°C and held for a period of twelve
months at -18°C. At three month intervals, samples were subjected...
The optimum conditions for the proteolytic solubilization of
trash fish and processing carcass waste in a simple shell-in-tube
heat exchange system was investigated. The nutritional and chemical
effects of processing variables were evaluated.
An exogenous source of proteolytic enzymes (albacore tuna
viscera, Thunnus alalunga) yielded a linear increase in the...
The relationship between the decomposition of trimethylamine
oxide in Pacific shrimp and shrimp meat quality was investigated to
evaluate the use of the trimethylamine oxide system as a quality
control indice.
Changes in the levels of trimethylamine oxide and its decomposition
products in whole shrimp stored on ice and in...
The biochemical and organoleptic changes that took place in
raw whole Pacific shrimp and in the cooked meat during eight days
of iced storage were investigated.
A steady increase of both microbial numbers on the raw shrimp
and pH in the raw shrimp and cooked meat was observed.
The levels...
A suitable method for the utilization of shrimp processing waste was investigated. The shrimp waste, which consisted of shell, viscera, and residual meat particles, was dried into a pink meal. This meal contained 5.4 percent moisture, 23.5 percent ash, 4. 1 percent crude lipid, 36. 3 percent actual protein, and...
The effects of ambient temperature storage on the chemical
and nutritional characteristics of phosphoric and sorbic acid-stabilized
fish autolysates were determined. Variations in sample
composition due to autolysis, deboning, and acidification were also
evaluated.
Autolysates of English sole (Parophrys vetulus), true cod
(Gadus macrocephalus), Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus), and
orange...
