Abstract

The effect of dry ice in preserving the shrimps showed that those packed in 50%
dry ice remained in acceptable condition upto 9 days, whereas those packed in
20% dry ice along with 50% water ice resulted in a longer shelf life of 11 days.
But, the shrimps packed with water ice (1:1) could remain for only 7 days. When
shrimps were rated unacceptable, the TPC, psychrophilic and lactics counts
were 106, 105 and 104 cfu/g, respectively, but the TMA-N and TVB-N were within
the prescribed limits and Hx reached a maximum of 17.37 mg%. Shrimps preserved
in combination of dry ice and water ice were found to have good quality
characteristics
