Description Shrimp samples were washed with municipal water, beheaded, peeled and deveined. One portion of fresh meat was quick frozen, filled into waxed cartons (400 g capacity) and stored at -20 degree C. Another portion was dip treated with sodium citrate (8%) for 5 min, drained and stored at -20 degree C as controls. For protein extraction, shrimp (20 g) was homogenized for 2 min with 140 ml of buffer solution consisting of 0.02M Na2CO3, pH 7.8, and 5% NaCl. The homogenate was centrifuged at 4000 rev/min for 45 min at 4 degree C and supernatant was analysed by ultracentrifugation. Results indicate that the proteins dissociate during storage at -20 degree C. The rate of dissociation in sodium citrate-treated shrimps was slower and they had less drip loss and better overall quality; this is considered to be due to partial dehydration during storage and the effect of inorganic salts mainly on the non-covalent interactions.
