Summary

FRESHLY CAUGHT SHRIMPS HAD A PREDOMINANT GRAM POSITIVE FLORA. PRESERVATION OF SHRIMPS IN CHILLED SEAWATER (CSW) FOR 28 HR ENCOURAGED THE RETENTION OF MOST OF THE GRAM POSITIVE FLORA PRESENT INITIALLY, WHEREAS IN ICED PRAWNS, ALL THE GRAM POSITIVE FLORA EXCEPT MICROCOCCUS WERE COMPLETELY ELIMINATED. PSEUDOMONAS ACCOUNTED FOR 67% OF THE FLORA IN CSW BATCH AND 82% IN ICED LOT. FROZEN PRAWNS DERIVED FROM CSW BATCH SCORED BETTER ORGANOLEPTICALLY AS COMPARED WITH THAT DERIVED FROM ICED LOT.
