24 June 2015 - Two experiments carried out were 1) The effect of the application methods (immersion or marinating) on the spoilage bacteria, pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella), TMA-N (spoilage indicator) content, melanosis (black pigment formation rate) and sensory scores of shrimp treated with tartaric acid (3%) and ii) The effect of the type of packaging (air or vacuum) on the presence of spoilage bacteria, TMA-N, TVB, pH (spoilage indicator), sensory scores and shelf-life of shrimps treated with tartaric asid. The result shown no significant difference (p>0.05) between the two application methods. The result obtained also demonstrate the use of both tartaric acid (3%) is comparable with sodium metabisulfite, hazardous chemicals used in the shrimp industry in maintaining the quality of shrimp especially on headless shrimp. The shelf-life of whole shrimp treated with tartaric acid (3%) and vacuum packed packaged is 21 days compared to the air packaging (6 days) at refrigerator temperature. The shelf-life of headless shrimp treated tartaric acid (3%) and vacuum packed at refrrgerated temperature is about 60 days compared with air packaged |
