Summary

THREE SPECIES OF SCAMPI, METANEPHROPS ANDAMANICUS, M. BOSCHMAI AND M. AUSTRALIENSIS, WERE FROZEN AT SEA: AS WHOLE ANIMALS AND AS TAILS. AFTER THAWING THEY WERE STORED AT 277 K (4 DEG C) FOR UP TO 8 DAYS AND EVALUATED BY CHEMICAL, MICROBIAL AND SENSORY METHODS. NEITHER THE MICROBIAL FLORA NOR THE RATE OF NUCLEOTIDE BREAKDOWN WERE DIFFERENT IN THE 2 FORMS, BUT THE WHOLE SCAMPI EXHIBITED GREATER DISCOLORATION AND MORE MARKED DETERIORATION OF TEXTURE. ALTHOUGH CHARACTERISTIC ODOURS AND FLAVOURS DECREASED AND OFF-ODOURS AND OFF-FLAVOURS INCREASED, THE TAILS REMAINED AS ACCEPTABLE AFTER 8 DAYS' STORAGE AS THEY WERE WHEN JUST THAWED. WHOLE SCAMPI DETERIORATED BUT REMAINED ACCEPTABLE EVEN AT THE END OF THE STORAGE PERIOD.
