The collagen content and composition of collagens in
different age classes of shrimp were determined. Their
physical and chemical characteristics were investigated.
The interrelationship of shrimp size and muscle collagen
content to raw and cooked meat yield was established.
Total collagen content for three lots of round shrimp
with weights...
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 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...
Treatment of round shrimp (3 days post-catch) in 6% condensed
phosphate solution at temperatures ranging from 39 (3.9°C) to 86°F
(30°C) reduced meat yield derived by mechanical peeling from 30.0
to 16.4% (wet wt.) according to the linear function y = -.2787 x +
42.7262 (P>.005). Condensed phosphate treatment at...
The effect of the application of condensed phosphate
(Brifisol D-510, commercial mixture of sodium tripolylphosphate
and sodium hexametaphosphate) to round shrimp on the
yield and frozen shelf-life characteristics of cooked meat
was investigated. Condensed phosphate retarded protein solubilization
and increased the water-holding capacity of meat
through steam precooking markedly improving...
