| Abstract | In India, prawn processing industry has been assuming great importance in recent years. During the last decade, a number of prawn processing plants have sprung up in the country mainly engaged in export trade and the industry has thereby become important as a foreign exchange earner. The raw prawn for freezing and canning plants is held in crushed ice during transport and subsequent storage prior to processing. The raw material may be transported either as 'whole', 'headless' or 'peeled and deveined' prawn. Knowledge of chemical and bacteriological changes occurring in these three forms of raw material is of considerable importance to the industry as this would enable predicting the quality of processed products apart from indicating their suitability as processing raw material. The present investigation was aimed at studying the chemical and bacteriological changes in prawn during storage in ice when held in the three forms of 'round', 'headless', or 'peeled and deveined' under commercial handling conditions. |
