Abstract Results of a study on the storage characteristics of ready to serve dried and fried
prawns (Metapenaeus dobsoni) packed in polyester/polythene bags and stored at ambient temperature (22-28°0 are presented. Treatments with common salt (sodium chloride) and citric acid prior to initial sun drying is founded to enhance both quality and shelf-life of the final fried product. While the untreated dried and fried prawns showed a storage life of 42 days, the test sample remained in acceptable condition upto 55 days. Dried and fried prawns appear to be a promising and appealing ready to serve product, ideally suited for the urban consumer market.
