- ItemBiochemical changes during chilled storage of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man 1879) and evaluation of freshness(2003)Chilled storage characteristics of farmed Macrobrachium rosenbergii are discussed. Fresh whole samples could be kept in iced storage in acceptible condition for a period of 12 days. The prime quality of the prawns was retained for a period of 6 days. TVBN values showed an increase from 11.2 mg % to 28mg % by12 days of iced storage. The bacterial load was is the order 104 to 106 cfu g-1 throughout the chilled storage. Sensory evaluation of the whole prawns and cooked meat was also carried out. Nucleotide degradation in chilled storage was studied. Hypoxanthine levels increased significantly after six days of iced storage. The utility of K value as an indicator of freshness in the chilled storage of M. rosenbergii was also investigated.
- ItemDIGESTIBILITY AND HYPOCHOLESTEROLEMIC EFFECT OF CHITIN AND CHITOSAN IN ALBINO RATS(Food and Agriculture Organization, 1995)Chitin and chitosan prepared from prawn head and shell waste were incorporated in the diets of albino rats (Wistar strain) in 0.5 % and 1.0% levels and fed for a period of 13 weeks. At the end of the experimental feeding the cholesterol contents in the internal organs and serum were decreased in the chitin and chitosan fed animals compared to the control. The hypocholesterolernic effect was more significant in the serum than in the internal organs. This effect was more pronounced with chitosan than chitin.
