Sensory Evaluation of Gamma Irradiated Shrimp (Penaeus notialis) from Three Different Water Sources in Ghana
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The shrimp is an excellent source of protein and essential HighUnsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic (20: 5n3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic (22: 6n3, DHA) acids [1, 2]. Furthermore, the shrimp is also a good source of minerals and vitamins such as calcium, iron, zinc, copper, vitamin B12, essential amino acids [1, 3] as well as astaxanthin, a fat-soluble carotenoid which has antioxidant properties. Its biochemical composition may be affected by several factors as the species, environmental factors, size, age, natural diet and feed composition [4, 5].

Immunization of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) by gamma-irradiated WSSV plus Vibrio paraheomolyticus
Introduction: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the most deadly infectious pathogens of the shrimp culture industry. Neither effective vaccines nor efficient treatments are currently available for this disease. Vibrio species are well known dominant bacterial pathogens in the shrimp ponds. As facultative pathogenic bacteria, it is possible that Vibrio spp. along with WSSV to co-infect ...
متن کاملEffect of different levels of dietary protein and water salinity on antioxidant enzymes of white leg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) juveniles
In this study, effect of different levels of dietary protein (25, 35 and 45 per cent) and water salinity (0-3, 12-15 and 32-35 ppt) on antioxidant enzymes of white leg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) was studied. 324 P.vannamei (with mean weight±SE: 5.55 ± 0.18 gr) were randomly distributed in twenty seven tanks. Experimental shrimps were fed by formulated diets for 56 days and at the end of the expe...
متن کاملThe effect of different thawing methods on chemical properties of frozen pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum)
BACKGROUND: Freezing is a common way and one of the best methods of seafood preservation for long periods of time; however, the freeze thawing process may influence the quality of food. OBJECTIVES: Oxidation and denaturation of proteins, sublimation and recrystallization of ice crystals can cause changes in the quality of the frozen products. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of three...
متن کاملCombined effect of antimicrobial coating and gamma irradiation on shelf life extension of pre-cooked shrimp (Penaeus spp.).
The present study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of low-dose gamma irradiation and antimicrobial coating on the shelf life of pre-cooked shrimp (Penaeus spp.). Antimicrobial coatings were obtained by incorporating various concentrations of thyme oil and trans-cinnamaldehyde in coating formulations prepared from soy or whey protein isolates. Coated shrimps were stored at 4 +/- 1 d...
