Summary

Whole lobster was treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), then was cooked before being cryogenically frozen and stored at -15°C. Following 0, 2, 4 and 6-month storage periods, chemical and textural analyses were performed. Sensory analysis was performed at months 2 and 6. STP-treated lobster had higher moisture levels and higher flavour and texture ratings. STP appears to extend shelf life, reduce lipid oxidation and maintain texture, colour and flavour attributes.
