| Abstract | Several consignments of cooked-peeled-frozen prawns exported from India were rejected last year due to high total plate count (TPC) at 30 degree centigrade. The specified temperature of incubation for TPC in our country is 37 degree centigrade. Hence the effect of incubation at 30 and 37 degree centigrade on TPC was studied. It is seen that the count is higher on incubation at 30 degree centigrade. A method for production of cooked-peeled-frozen prawns conforming to the specification for TPC at 30 degree centigrade is standardised and is reported . It consists of recooking the cooked-peeled prawns followed by packing and freezing without further contamination. The method minimizes batch to batch or sample to sample variation in TPC. |
